The Grand Hall is truly one of those rare local gems that completely exceeds expectations. From the moment you walk in, you’re struck by the elegance of the space it has that perfect balance of grandeur and warmth that makes any event feel special.
What really sets it apart, though, is the team. They are absolutely outstanding. Nothing is too much trouble, every detail is handled with care, and they genuinely go above and beyond to make sure everything runs seamlessly. You can feel how passionate they are about what they do, and it makes all the difference.
The whole experience feels effortless as a guest and incredibly well-managed behind the scenes. It’s clear this is a venue that takes real pride in delivering exceptional events.
If you’re looking for a beautiful space with a team you can truly trust, The Grand Hall is an easy choice. Highly, highly recommended.

A VERY BAD EXPERIENCE…if you’re thinking of hiring please read the below first!
We hired the venue to celebrate a recent function. We paid for extra hours to prepare the venue being told that the place would be set up. When we arrived, one person was available to set up all the table and chairs and said it would take them two hours to do so, so your two free hours included in the hire fee did not count for anything and was not accountable. The lack of communication is an understatement with the event staff come and go so you’re not sure who you are dealing with!!! Catering needs to be cooked outside as there are no kitchen facilities on the premises, it is a complete joke and they should not even be allowed to hire this venue out for weddings or functions as advertised on their website. it was a bad bad experience!! The main issue we had was with the staff. Lack and incorrect information was given from the start which carried through right till the end. They weren’t very accommodating or flexible at all and did not deliver the quality of service we paid for as it is not cheap to hire. The staff said they had fixed the light that was outside near the blue doors, when we arrived on the day it wasn’t fixed and the maintenance manager told us there was an issue and could not be fixed in time for the event. The staff were constantly on our backs when we were setting up the hall to the extent our external caterers and other suppliers were feeling bombarded with loads of questions and constant interrogations about the event. There also wasn’t any kitchen washing facilities for our caterers to use and the staff were really unhelpful in finding solutions for us and the caterers at the premises despite us being told several times prior to booking that the venue was equipped with the right facilities. Also the event manager did not turn up to an important site visit where we had loads of questions from our caterers and they did not even let us know they were attending. All in all an appalling experience and we would definitely not recommend hiring this venue for your event.

Really great venue for a wedding, we had 150 guests and there was space for everyone with a dancefloor and bar. We had a fantastic wedding. Marianna was so helpful and professional, she reassured us and made it an amazing day!

Have worked with The Grand Hall for 3 or 4 years now, can’t recommend them highly enough. Professional, helpful, stunning building… all you could want for a special occasion.

Very nice old school building with a traditional fancy looking ceiling. The hall has enough space for a couple of hundred people and there’s a quite a lot of parking outside the venue. It is easy to miss the venue as there no obvious signage. Just head for the old fashioned red brick building facing the main road which is surrounded by a bricked wall. The vehicle entrance is opposite the main traffic lights.
