THE SKITTLES ALLEY

Skittles alleys like this are hard to come by. Dating back to at least the 1970s, to our knowledge it’s the only alley with original features like these in Nottingham. Located downstairs, the room also boasts a small bar and craft beer fridge. The ultimate place for parties for small to medium groups, looking for an area all to themselves.

• The Skittles Alley houses a small bar with a lager, cider and IPA option alongside a fridge containing house wines, soft drinks and a number of spirit options.
• The Skittles Alley is perfectly suited to accommodate small to medium parties.
• For skittles playing: up to 28 guests can attend with space for central skittles playing, space for a buffet and option for a staffed bar.
• For other events: the space can also be used for small parties of all types, and the capacity increases to up to 40 without use of the Skittles Alley. The inclusion of sound systems, fairy lights and the option for a manned bar make this space perfect for smaller birthday parties or intimate celebrations.

The Ballroom is an open and airy room perfect for hosting large group-based activities such as dancing, theatre practise, yoga classes. With a wall-length mirror and large dancefloor, the room is also perfect for many other low-key classes.

THE CONSERVATORY

The conservatory is a light and airy room perfect for smaller or summer events; when the sun sets, the conservatory transforms into an intimate, twinkly affair with fairy lights draping from the ceiling. The conservatory also has its own entrance and exists meaning guests can pop to the bar or enjoy the beer garden as they please.
