The Square

The Square on the first floor is where most of the larger events take place. It’s a flexible space that you can set up in different ways, depending on what you’re planning, whether that’s a talk, screening, meetup, or a more casual company social.

There’s plenty of relaxed seating, along with solid wood tables, and it’s all easy to rearrange. You’ve got a projector and cinema screen, a PA system, and space for up to 50 people. There’s also access to the board game library, plus QR code ordering so guests can get food and drinks brought straight to their table.
