Evening room hire

A £100 non-refundable booking fee secures your date.

Music

DJ, playlist or band

DJ £300

Our in-house DJ, Black Cat Ents, plays all our events and private parties. We'll put you in touch so you can talk genres, playlists and requests. Prefer your own playlist? Plug a device into our house speakers via AUX, perfect for gatherings that are more about chatting than dancing. Using your own DJ or band? No problem, just pass on our details so we can sort set-up, timings and PAT certificates. Live bands finish by 11pm.
