We have been told many times that The Canalside is a hidden gem. That people didn?t realise how nice it is here till they walked through the door. That our main hall is the biggest they've seen. That our toilets are the cleanest, our staff the most helpful. While we won?t be showing you any photos of our toilets, we would like to show you our selection of rooms. Whatever your function, from weddings to wakes, from seminars to shows, we are sure to be able to accommodate you and your guests and make you feel really welcome...
This large space is very flexible and we have hosted a range of prestigious events here from EDF conferences to an international TV programme, from wedding receptions to Christmas Balls.
Hollinsworth Hall can provide a fully licenced bar if required, PA system and adjustable lighting.
