We have something suitable for every occasion, with rooms ranging in size from 6 people to 120 people. While we don’t provide in-house catering, there is freedom to bring in your preferred caterers.
All profits from the hiring of our rooms goes towards our programmes which have supported communities and empowered women to transform lives for over 100 years.
