Housed in a characterful sandstone building dating back more than a century, the venue combines historic charm with practical facilities for modern events.

The Kodiak Room is designed to give organisers a flexible base that can be styled to suit different themes and occasions.

Facilities include seating and tables for up to 200 guests, round tables, farmhouse-style tables, a large preparation kitchen, commercial refrigeration and stainless-steel preparation surfaces.

String lighting, crystal chandeliers, a curtain backdrop, privacy curtains, arbors and a rustic photography door create useful decorative and photographic features. A Bluetooth PA system with wireless microphone, heating and cooling, chalkboards, an easel and waste facilities are also available.

Beyond weddings, The Kodiak Room hosts baby showers, family reunions, fundraisers, auctions, conferences, annual meetings, corporate parties, holiday events, craft fairs and vendor fairs.
