Unfortunately, you cannot bring alcohol into the Centre. However, if there was a special wine that
you wanted to bring in, for perhaps a toast, this would be permitted but a corkage charge of £5 per
bottle would be levied. We do have a static and mobile bar available for events, with prices that
are surprisingly competitive.
Nevertheless, always talk to us first to discuss your specific requirement.
Not only can you bring in your own prepared food for an event but you can even appoint your own caterer!
Please call us to discuss further as there is a charge for the use of the main kitchen.
In the first instance, call the Centre to get immediate availability. If the room you want is
occupied we will offer the next suitable alternative.
If you have booked a room for a succession of dates and, for whatever reason, we have to move you
another room you will always be given a better room but at the originally agreed price.
Yes you can....the only limits to decoration is your imagination – but please respect the building!
Don’t drill holes or put nails into the walls. Speak to our caretakers who will be only too happy
to help you with any fixings.
At the end of your event we ask that you remove and take away with you any decorations that you want
to keep. Our caretakers are very good at cleaning up afterwards, so we cannot guarantee that any precious items will be kept.
You may supply your own catering or we can source a trusted caterer.
