traditional fancy looking ceiling

Very nice old school building with a traditional fancy looking ceiling. The hall has enough space for a couple of hundred people and there's a quite a lot of parking outside the venue. It is easy to miss the venue as there no obvious signage. Just head for the old fashioned red brick building facing the main road which is surrounded by a bricked wall. The vehicle entrance is opposite the main traffic lights.

Amazing Venue place! Love the ceiling art

An excellent venue, multifunctional and able to adapt

Would recommend this venue!

Good place for large gatherings. Would recommend this venue!

My first time visiting the grand hall. I was there for a wedding, very impressive. Bar facilities were limited, & too few bar staff. But we had a lovely memorable day overall.
