Eating and drinking

The space comes with an in-built kitchenette that includes: sink, hot water boiler, filtered drinking water, dishwasher, electric hob, oven, microwave, fridge, crockery and cutlery. You will need to bring your own tea, coffee supplies etc. It's ideally suited for groups who have packed lunches or catered food. Please book enough time to clean the kitchen and leave it as you found it, otherwise a cleaning fee may be charged.

Please take your rubbish home when you leave. If you cannot commit to doing this, then please add the rubbish removal fee at checkout.

No alcohol can be consumed or sold at the facility under the terms of our licence.

Tech and AV

The space has a large screen that drops down from the roof. We provide HDMI cables, but you must bring your own adaptor if your device does not have a HDMI port. There are clear instructions for using sound and AV but please take time to familiarise yourself with the system beforehand. Please contact the Centre to organise a suitable time to do this.

Decorations and music

You're welcome to bring decorations for your event. Please do not use pins to attach material to the wall, and all decorations must be removed at the end of your booking. The Centre is located in a residential area and due care and respect must be shown to neighbouring properties with regard to noise both during and after the event. Hirers are responsible for managing noise during the event. Noise from amplifiers and loudspeakers (especially from live bands) must be kept to a moderate level at all times.

Accessibility

The room is fully wheelchair accessible and access is via a lift down from the ground floor of the building. There is an accessible toilet. The Centre has 1 disabled parking place.
