The Venue perfect for your Christening

The Venue provides the perfect alternative function facility. Our clients are always surprised by the size of The Venue when they step inside. The ambiance lends itself to Christenings perfectly, our contemporary decoration with its clean lines and reflective mirrors give a lovely alternative to hiring the local club or community centre. The cost of hiring The Venue for your event is less than half the price of local hotel options. Adding to the value is being able to stroll around the sites Garden Nursery and Bird Aviary as well as the unique experience of feeding the family of animals on site with our free food. This is guaranteed to delight your guests young and old alike.

Inside we also have a children’s room complete with toys, which will keep the little ones entertained all day. Whether it’s hire only or a catering event we’ll do our best to support you in having a special day for your child.

“Absolutely amazing time for our daughters christening yesterday! Amazing venue and excellent staff they couldn't do enough for us. Would recommend for any occasion. The kids all loved the playroom and feeding the animals and the room and facilities were lovely! Thank you so much for a wonderful day!”
Ashleigh Louise Catterson
“This place is amazing!! We have just held the 'after party' for our sons christening here and we could not be happier with the service we received. Jaime and Shelley will bend over backwards to help and did everything possible to ensure we had a wonderful reception. The food is gorgeous - we had a coeliac guest and they received their own platter of food, including desserts!! The venue itself is flawless - tastefully decorated with lots of activities for the children, including feeding the animals! This place is so unique and just what we wanted. I was extremely particular and probably a bit of a diva but they delivered on everything I requested with professionalism. Shelley is a designer by trade so everything was impeccable. It was perfect. Loved it and we cannot thank you enough. Thank you both so much.”
