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 120 people (or 70 if seated).
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]
