Hire the venue

 

Watersmeet has two fully air-conditioned rooms available for hire.  With a unique floor in the main auditorium it can transform from a fully raked theatre style event to a flat floor for dinner dances, cabarets and weddings. 

The auditorium has a capacity of 515 for theatre productions and large scale conferences and 250 for cabaret style events.

Watersmeet’s Colne Room has a capacity of up to 100.  It provides the perfect space for more intimate events such as Christenings and birthdays, but with the versatility to be easily adapted for business meetings, mother and toddler groups, craft fairs and exhibitions.

Both rooms are licensed to perform weddings  making the venue an extremely popular choice for hosting any size celebration.  The venue also offers a flexible range of dining options at very affordable prices.  Hall hire prices can be downloaded below.

From your first viewing of Watersmeet, through to the finishing touches of your event, whether you are staging a theatrical performance or an intimate occasion, Watersmeet will see that your event is in the spotlight.  Because we understand the importance of organising and staging a successful event, we focus all our attention on your needs and requirements.

When you hire Watersmeet, you put your trust in our team, who will in return bring their professional knowledge and experience to your event. With their guidance you can turn a staff presentation into an Oscar Ceremony, transform a family celebration into a life long memory or see the curtain rise to the anticipation of a first night audience.

Watersmeet hall hire rates are extremely competitive, but as no two events are ever the same we like to tailor make a price for you based on your specific requirements.
