The museum can be a suitable place to come together when the mood is
not festive. We can host a reception style event on Mondays and in the
evenings. Evening events have to be booked with us at least six days in
advance. Small receptions, for 20 people or fewer, may be possible at short
notice, however, on any day or evening.
A place with character
A memorial reception may need to be arranged quickly and we will
always try to respond to enquiries rapidly. The museum is suitable for
gatherings of guests who have come together to remember someone. Either the
spacious first floor can be used, or the more intimate ground floor.
Please note that we do not host events for more than 20 people during
the daytime on Tuesdays to Sundays. For evening events to be attended by more
than 20 people we need your booking at least six days in advance.
Our Facilities
We can provide a range of furniture and there is a small kitchen, to
which caterers bring their own equipment. We have a variety of audio-visual
equipment including for speeches. Wine, flute, and soft drink glasses are
available for hire. You are free to use the outside caterers
of your choice, whether they bring in drinks, snacks or more substantial meal..
We provide coat rails and hangars. The ground floor comprises displays and the Museum
Shop and there is access to the canalside from there. There is approximately
300 square metres of circulating space. On the first floor are more exhibits
and a larger circulating area.
The museum is fully accessible. There is a lift from the entrance level to the
mezzanine floor, and another from there to the first floor. On the ground floor
there is an accessible toilet. Handrails are provided on all stairs.
