Church Hall
Mar 2025
Fantastic and well-equipped space - perfect for children's parties. Large central area for games etc with smaller break-out corners for parents to sit/serving tables and a ‘home corner’ where siblings can play. We’ve hosted two parties here now and would definitely return!
In the event of any damage to the space or any other part of the venue property, Sharesy reserves the right to make deductions from the payment method used.
We'll make sure to notify you in advance of making any deductions and will, whenever possible, provide you with photographic or other documentary evidence of the damage.
