This hall is great for small functions. Very affordable to hire. There is a door leading out to the court and skate park, grass area. Close to a park for the young ones. It is a great location. The downfall with this hall is that there are only one toilet for each gender but the females door has a broken lock which doesn't lock at all. They both need to be kept up.to date visually and physically as it hasn't been upgraded in decades. It does hold awesome functions and the kitchen is fairly okay to prep in however it needs upgrading aswell.
