This is a full and detailed price list so that there are no hidden extras. It can be so much cheaper hiring a Hall rather than using a hotel or other venue that might have lower room hire charges could be so much more expensive on food and drinks.
Also bear in mind our venue can hold a party for up to 350 people. If you book both halls, you can seat up to 600 guests.
With the exception of Party Package A (the Pavilion at the Jubilee Ground) you may elect to pay a corkage fee of £3 per person and bring in your own drinks.
