Venue hire FAQ

Can we bring our own caterers?

Absolutely! While we have a list of recommended local partners who know our kitchen well, you are welcome to bring your own caterers. We will just ask for a copy of their public liability insurance in advance.

We have a catering kitchen onsite and can arrange a pre-visit to familiarise them with the venue and facilities.

Is alcohol allowed on site?

Yes, you are welcome to serve alcohol at private events, but if operating a paid bar, a Temporary Event Notice (TEN) will be required.

Is the site accessible?

Lower Grange Farm is a converted farmstead. We've worked to level floors and ensure good connectivity between areas with lifts, ramps and accessible toilet/shower facilities.
