Our Limitations
The Hall is perfect to hire for a group activity or class, a public event like a market or a performance of some kind. We’re also a good place to hold some types of private celebrations and (younger) kids’ parties. However…
….we are located in a residential area and set in a terrace of Victorian houses. So, you’ve guessed it, we can’t have loud events or late ones. We want to be good neighbours.
So, if you want a bit of a rumpus with a DJ or band, the Hall probably isn’t right for you. If it’s a modest family get together then you are very welcome to enquire. Teen parties are unfortunately a no-no. Sorry.
Parking (or the lack of it) might also be a consideration for you. We have bike racks and people can walk to a bus stop but we are in a controlled parking zone.
The best way to find out if it’s the right place for you is to make an enquiry first and then come and have a look around.
How Big is the Hall?
The Main Hall is a spacious 18m by 8m and can fit 100 people (or 80 if seated). Its about 6m from floor to ceiling.
It’s perfect for events, classes, markets and performances. It’s got great acoustics. We have a stage you can use and a lighting rig.

The Community Room is a cosier space of around 3.5m by 6m, so suitable for up to 12 people seated. We run our art clubs here.
Kitchen
We have a good size kitchen that has recently been refurbished to professional catering standards.
There is a range cooker, large fridge freezer and dishwasher.
In November 2022 we were inspected by Brighton and Hove City Council and awarded a level 5 Food Hygiene standard. The kitchen is suitable for running catered events and pop-up restaurant evenings. Enquire about prices [email protected]
