century it creates an awe-inspiring atmosphere for your wedding ceremony. The Hall
boasts a traditional church organ and a stunning vaulted ceiling, which provide a
lasting impression your guests will remember forever.

outside patio area provides an ideal setting for your reception drinks.
Your guests will be welcomed with a reception drink, they can then relax whilst your
photographer captures your special day. Drinks will then be served during your wedding
breakfast and for the speeches.
Enjoy the first meal of your married life surrounded by your family and friends. The Arts
Centre can accommodate up to 120 guests for the wedding breakfast.
After your relaxed wedding breakfast has been served there’s now the chance to dance
the night away at the evening reception. With the ambient lighting creating a true party
atmosphere.
