A perfect example of its use was for
a Medieval Banquet to celebrate the 50th Anniversary of Abinger’s Medieval Fair. Two large marquees were erected
in the garden to hold the banquet; an external catering company used the
kitchen facilities and the hall was used for the dance. A very successful
evening for over a hundred guests and personnel, using the extensive
capabilities of the hall to the full.
The
hall has an entertainment licence. However, to sell
alcohol an application for a temporary entertainment notice needs to be made. Excellent
local catering can be arranged. Cutlery,
china, tables and chairs are available for local outside hire. If
you are requiring a venue such as for meetings, antique fairs, quiz nights,
birthday parties, wedding and anniversary parties, fundraising events, keep-fit classes and young
youth organization events (Brownies, Cubs etc.), please contact the Booking
Secretary to discuss on 01306 731044 |
