Private Hire & Events
Hire Our Space
A calm, characterful space in the heart of St Martin's, Leicester — perfect for workshops, meetups, celebrations and private events.
Our upstairs area comfortably seats around 25 guests across a mix of large, high and regular tables, with an 85" screen available for presentations, slides or films. Whether you're planning a creative workshop, a book club, a team meeting or a private celebration, we'd love to host you.
