Lovely hall for a Pop up play village party. Would have been 5 stars but the keyholder was 25 minutes late arriving. Whilst we were given extra time at the end, the party guests arrived on time and the hall wasn't set up ready to start and most of them left at the original end time so didn't use the extra time at the end.

There is not a lot of parking spaces if you are in need of a hall for a birthday party or party of any sort. The hall is medium sized and cn fit upto 20-40 people including tables and chaires.
