You must remove your rubbish.
You need to bring all your consumables e.g. tea & coffee.

Presenting

The hall has a lighting bar. The main lighting is overhead fluorescent lights. There is no inbuilt sound system or speakers, but you are welcome to bring your own. There is 3 phase power.
The space is great for bands and DJs but they need to bring their own amps, speakers mics, etc. There is roller door access to load and unload to the stage area.
There is no projector or screen, but BYO works well if you have a free-standing screen.

Decoration and Parties
You are welcome to decorate the hall space for your event. However, you cannot use pins or tape, or anything that would damage the hall walls. Blu tac is OK. For Indian weddings, you can have a controlled flame for your ceremony. Please note the hall must be left as you found it, so all decorations - including ties must be removed. Please no confetti, rice, or party poppers in the outside area. The hall internal or external space is large enough for a bouncy castle. It's fine to use an external event hire company if you want to bring your own furniture, table cloths, drapes, etc. All decorations and anything you have brought in for your event must be removed by the end of your booking. Please book the time you need in the hall space to set up, pack down, and clean as the hall may be used directly before or after you.
