Event spaces

The venue lists these spaces. Capacities are the venue’s own figures and change with the layout you choose.

• Main floor: 3,000 sq ft with an 800 sq ft stage; up to 250 with a dance floor or 350 without
• Outdoor deck: elevated patio above Bala Bay

Capacity

The venue does not publish a single maximum for every room, so ask for the capacity of the specific space in the layout you want: seated dinner, standing reception, theatre or classroom.

A useful rule: a seated dinner at rounds of ten needs about 1 to 1.2 square metres per guest, a standing reception about 0.7, and theatre seating about 0.6, before you add a stage or dance floor. The venue capacity calculator does the arithmetic for your room.

Events it hosts

According to its own event pages, the venue hosts weddings, corporate events and private social events.
