Unique venue overlooking the Village Green

For a small venue, our refurbished army barracks certainly make a big impression. The high ceiling and statement wallpaper paired with while timber panelling creates a stately air of sophistication, while the ornate sash windows bring in plenty of light and calming green outdoor hues.

This room is ideal for boardroom meetings and can also be used as a VIP space during festivals or community events that are staged on the main Village Green.

The barracks has an adjoining kitchenette where tea, coffee and in-house catering can be served. And air conditioning/heating, a whiteboard, television screen, HDMI cable and wi-fi are all available within this space.
