About this venue

On Hitched.co.uk since 2026

Last update: October 2026

A versatile double-height gallery with an indoor-outdoor flood of natural light, the striking Event Space sits at the centre of this heritage site. Defined by timeless echoes of its original era, statement floor tiles, dramatic columns and elegant geometric metalwork culminate in a sweeping staircase that leads directly to the dancefloor.

With a mezzanine floor and crystal-clear acoustics, the flexibility of this modern-industrial venue is boundless. It is an exceptional space for weddings, with guests able to move stress-free from ceremony to dinner, drinks and dancing.

With a 250-person capacity, this fully customisable space can also be configured for smaller, more intimate events and is rented ‘dry’, which affords you the freedom to book specific suppliers to suit the theme, style and character of your wedding. Framed by established sycamore and elm trees, the outside space has room for food and refreshment pop-ups, as well as outdoor entertainment, and is a truly beautiful backdrop for photography.
