Spaces to Hire

We have a variety of spaces to hire, from huge halls for large numbers of people, to small rooms for three or four people.

Depending on the space, they can be rented by the hour or for longer periods. Some organisations have rented our spaces for years.

They can be used for one off events such as parties or longer time use for community orientated activities.

You can find out more below, and there is a form so that you can make an enquiry.
