Boat Hall

The three storey Boat Hall, with its hanging boats, is one of the most dramatic areas in the Museum and Archives, providing a fantastic function venue.  Previous users have also commented on great acoustics within this area, making it ideal for music, story telling and wedding ceremonies.

The Sixareen, located at the bottom of the Boat Hall, can be wheeled back or removed to make a larger space if required.  The Café Restaurant can also enhance the experience by serving a buffet in the Boat Hall.
