Value for money. This venue was perfect for a gathering of 45 but can accommodate a lot more. Compared to most other halls in the area, this was a lot bigger and a lot cheaper. Kitchen was good, there's a fridge/freezer and a gas hob. Parking was good. Enough for 10 cars or more if everyone parks properly. Toilets were okay. One of the WC in the ladies toilet was clogged, but couldn't complain as there was an event prior to ours and maybe it was them. We didn't use the stage, so can't comment on that. Tables were easy to assemble and decent size. Chairs were a bit old, but not too bad. Hall was spacious and tall, so even on a warm day it was still pretty cool inside with the windows and doors open. But be respectful of the neighbours. We had to close the doors and windows as one neighbour complained of the sound, although being honest we weren't really loud as we had kids with us. But anyway everything was perfect for our little one's first birthday. Talking about the one thing that upset my wife and myself was that the phone numbers never worked. We wanted to arrange a viewing of the hall to plan out for our event. Hall size and table size for decorations, speaker locations, power outlets and everything else. But no one picked up the phone. Caroline (the caretaker) was very responsive via email, but the phone numbers weren't updated and we didn't get any response. But overall, it was still worth the price we paid.

A perfect space for my needs. Reasonably priced and easy to book. Look forward to having an excuse to go there again.

Great space, great value and easy to organise.

Easy to book. Accurate description. Great space. Would not hesitate to book again. Thanks.

The space was as lovely as usual and nicely painted to!

The main room is perfect for a children's birthday party and has all the amenities needed, including folding tables, kitchen facilities, and a large amount of space. Everything was clean and tidy. The booking system was smooth and responses were quick with no issues. This is the second time we've hired the room and we'd happily do so again.

I love this space and have been using it for my dance classes for years. It was nice and warm for a cold day

It is a lovely big hall - great floor - warm in winter - good administration

A friend and I used the Blancharde Room for a day of collaborative creative writing. The space was perfect. It was warm and comfortable with everything we needed for a creative day - kettle, relaxed easy chairs as well as formal writing space, good WiFi and a toilet near at hand. It felt faraway from all distractions and was a productive day for us. We'll be using it again in future.

I've been lucky enough to use the Helliwell room to rehearse several shows. It's an ideal and versatile space with terrific natural light and varied electric lighting. I look forward to coming back again in the near future.
