The Barge House

Whether you’re looking to hire the Mezzanine, Event Lounge or the entire two floors with a 250 capacity, our waterside venue is a veritable blank canvas just waiting to be transformed. Whatever your celebration, our management team will be happy to lend a hand in working out the finer details of your event, drawing on over 15 years of event experience and hosting to make sure that everything goes off without a hitch. Double height ceilings and exposed industrial ducting give a nod to its heritage, while natural wood interiors are contrast with heavy industrial steelwork to create an impressive and welcoming contemporary environment. The Canalside Bar is bright & inspiring, with double-height glass windows overlooking the canal and bi-folding doors opening onto the waterside terrace. Guest arrival can also be arranged by boat for that extra special celebration! Overlooking the ground floor dining area, the Mezzanine is ideal for a working breakfast, team lunch, or private supper. This fabulous space is exclusive, yet still within the ambience of the main house. When booked as a full venue hire, the corner side balcony provides the perfect spot to relax and gaze over partying guests below. The intimate Lounge, nestled at the back of our ground-floor and away from the hustle & bustle of the waterside towpath, is just the right size for a film screening, product launch, educational workshop or inspirational talk. Kitted out with a projector, screen, sound system and plush, comfortable seating, the space lends itself equally well to music events, comedy nights and private parties.
