Facilities - what's on offer

Thanks to a major refurbishment in 2019, B12 Urban Village Hall has been expertly renovated to satisfy the highest of modern standards, making the hall a really versatile and accessible space. We are grateful for the kind provision of funding from The National Lottery Community Fund, The Garfield Weston Foundation and The Veolia Environmental Trust and others, which made all this possible.

The Hall

​There is a maximum capacity of 150 people, 100 if seated. Despite the large size, the hall feels cosy, and small groups are equally suited to the space. The original parquet floor of the old school has been refurbished and is suitable for all uses. The hall is fitted with new black-out curtains to allow optimum use of the projector and screen. There is full wheelchair access via an outside ramp, and lift to the stage, and both brand new disabled, and baby changing facilities have been installed. Thick insulation, new double glazing and a brand new hot air heating system, means the hall is kept warm and cosy, and in the most environmentally friendly and sustainable way. 

Stage

We have a fully equipped stage, with state of the art lighting and media equipment, large projector and screen, and disabled access lift. This is perfect for training, presentations, film screenings, presentations and media events, and comes with theatre sound included. The whole room is flanked by new stylish high windows which make the most of the natural light. There are a number of lighting options in the hall, including some subtle inbuild uplighters that really bring a calm atmosphere when daylight begins to fade. ​

Kitchen

A high spec stainless steel kitchen fitted with professional standard appliances, 2 serving hatches and moveable counters, hot plates, a self-cleaning oven and refrigeration storage.

Pre-programmed self-cleaning oven

Car Parking

Hall users have access to a sizeable car park on site. This is accessed from the Mary Street entrance. Look for the yellow & black illuminated sign ‘B12 Urban Village Hall’. The car park is shared with other onsite buildings; therefore availability can depend on time of hire. 

Flexible

We really feel that we have a special venue here and hope you do too.  It’s a bright, warm and cosy, tranquil space.  The hall is equally suited to relaxing Yoga classes, presentations and music events, training and meetings, social and community groups, or charity events. It is fitted with the best quality fittings and furnishings, and all kitchen and media equipment are of the highest specification.
