Room Hire
HEART has a range of beautiful rooms available for hire. Housed in a former Victorian school, our spaces are full of character. They are bright, modern and welcoming while still retaining many charming period features.
Our pricing is tiered to keep our rooms accessible and affordable, with reduced rates available for community groups, charities and statutory organisations.
Take a look below to explore photos and details of the spaces available. Whether you’re planning a work meeting, conference, wedding celebration or creative class, we have the perfect setting for your event.
When you book a space at HEART, you’re also supporting a thriving local community arts and enterprise centre.
Planning a special celebration?
HEART's main Shire Oak Hall hosts up to 150 guests, has a stage, grand piano, projector & screen, PA and lighting system. Adjacent to the hall we have smaller spaces which are perfect as a photobooth, cloak room or backstage area.
The Assembly Bar + Kitchen has a PA, full bar and kitchen facilities plus a sunny courtyard and, if you are expecting lots of little ones at your party, why not add Tiny Boo, a creative play space to keep them entertained?
All party bookings have a dedicated Events Host to help create your perfect party package, be your point of contact throughout and be on hand on the day to ensure your event goes without a hitch.
