About Applegarth Hall

Applegarth Hall is a charming Victorian hall suitable for a range of events including gigs, parties, live shows,  weddings, public meetings, small conferences, etc, as well as for regular activities requiring a large indoor space, such as playgroups, yoga, dog training, exercise sessions, and dance classes, etc.  

The main hall is an atmospheric and airy space with a vaulted ceiling, stage with lighting gantry, wooden floor, and good acoustics. It can be used as-is, or decorated creatively for that special event.  

The stage can be accessed from the hall and from the backstage area, providing versatility for a range of performances. The stage can also be hired on its own for regular band practice. 

The meeting room has a wood-burner and comfy seating for cosy gatherings, with a serving hatch through to the kitchen.

The kitchen is fully vegetarian and registered with the local authority as catering premises. 

The capacity of the venue is up to 150, depending on how you intend to use it.
