The Lounge
The Lounge in the historic Baring Hall is a great venue for a get together, birthday party or family gathering. With bags of personality, the pretty little room is situated just off of the main bar area, but still separated off enough to keep your party private. The staff will ensure that all your needs are met throughout the evening and that you leave with some fantastic memories to keep you smiling for a long time afterwards.
