Furniture Arrangements

main_hall_no_furniture.png

The basic layout of the hall is as a badminton court. This means the floor space can be used for other activities such as yoga, line dancing, table tennis, or indoor bowls on mats as required.

When you hire the hall, you may set out the furniture included in your booking in one of any number of ways as best suits your purpose. The examples set out below provide some suggested furniture arrangements to suit the most common usages of the hall.

Please note each arrangement restricts the furniture to within the usable area in the centre of the room (coloured light orange in the diagrams). This roughly corresponds to the area of the badminton court marked on the hall floor.. This is important as it provides a clear 1.8m gangway around all sides of the room (dark orange) to ensure unimpeded egress via the emergency exits
