Looking for a Space for Your Next Event?

Our Upper Hall has had a fabulous renovation, with plenty of bright, open space for you to hold a function or event. Rentals have been picking up – from private meetings to fun public events (Bunny Yoga on May 6!) – and all are welcome to swing by for a visit and check out the space. Paul will be happy to take you on a tour, and the main office is open Mondays and Wednesdays from 9:00 am to 4:30 pm, and Fridays from 9:00 to 4:00 pm.
