At the end of your party/event we just ask you to remove your decorations and bag up any left over food, we then clean and put away the furniture and clean the Hall after your event for you as part of the hire.

The lounge bar is available for meetings and selected events when not is use as a bar.  Furniture is set out to your requirements.
