Seminars and company events
The venue hosts training sessions, workshops and seminars, conferences and AGMs, product launches, awards nights, business breakfasts, luncheons and dinners. It offers three dedicated conference and meeting rooms, bookable individually or together as breakout spaces. Layouts include theatre, classroom, banquet and boardroom. The largest configuration takes up to 300 guests.

Each booking is private, with no other function next door. Smaller groups of 40 to 100, such as sports club presentation nights and charity dinners, also use the venue, and shorter hire windows can be arranged. A walk-through is offered before you book.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are the venue's main business, with more than 20 years of experience. Two packages are described. Emerald gives full venue access, your choice of vendors, a three-course or buffet menu, a set-up and a five-hour function. White Diamond adds curated suppliers such as DJ, celebrant, photographer and cake, plus use of the garden or chapel. Wedding planning is included with every package. Civil ceremonies and elopements are supported, and the venue hosts Western, Indian, Afghan and Greek weddings and other cultural celebrations.
Rooms and capacities
The Elizabeth Room is the larger ballroom, used for formal dinners, ceremonies, performances and large events, with a polished dance floor and chandelier lighting. The Cameo Room is smaller, used for smaller ceremonies, planning days and pre-event gatherings. Seated dinners range from 50 to 250 guests and cocktail events from 120 to 350. Schools book groups from about 50 up to 350, and corporate layouts reach 300. A microphone and PA system are built in. Every room, entrance and restroom is described as accessible, with ramps and wide doorways.
Catering
Meals are prepared by the in-house kitchen, with menus for breakfasts, lunches, dinners and tea breaks. Menus can be plated or buffet, and adjusted for dietary and cultural needs. The pages do not mention outside caterers, so ask if you want to bring your own.
