Social & Function Hire

Let us take care of the atmosphere, the drinks, the nibbles or the dinner so you can spend quality time with friends, family or social club members.
We have spaces for all kind of functions, including a fully licensed bar, or you can even take over the whole club!

Since the beginning, the club has been a venue to support the local community. We work with many individuals, societies and clubs to host their social events.
Our Business Membership scheme allows local businesses to access all our facilities at exclusive member rates. These are, typically, about 25% cheaper than the rates we charge to non-member users.
