  • Thank you to the team who helped with the hire of the pavilion. The venue was perfect, with the flexibility to use a full working kitchen plus tables and chairs with loads of rooms for games and dancing. You can't beat the location with the doors open wide to access the playing fields and playground. 

    Our daughter with her 25(!) friends had the most fantastic day celebrating her 5th birthday. Thank you! 

  • The last 2 days have gone brilliantly. The venue was perfect for what we needed and was very well equipped.

    I have no doubt we will be using the Pavilion again at some point in the future.
