The Annexe is a pleasant, light space about the same size as the Main Hall and is ideal for parties, dances, weddings, club meetings, keep fit, baton twirling, Pilates, lectures, tea parties, work meetings and more.

The maximum capacity of the Annexe alone is 60 people. For parties with space for dancing and some tables, if the Annexe and Main Hall are booked together, the maximum capacity is a total of 170 people. (For closely seated events such as a pantomime, the maximum combined capacity of the Main Hall and Annexe is 210 people.) A wide Jack and Jill corridor provides easy access between the Annexe and the Main Hall.

The Annexe has ramped access and double doors with a small entrance area and a galley kitchen with a long serving hatch. It has a lino floor and curtained windows. It is fitted with an induction hearing loop, compatible with hearing devices switched to the  T setting.

There are two toilets with doors 0.9 metres wide – which is sufficient for wheelchair access. 

Heating is provided by radiant ceiling heaters, making the Annexe unsuitable for a bouncy castle unless it is a mini one under 2 metres tall. 

The Annexe kitchen has a sink, fridge, kettle, microwave, teapots, crockery and cutlery and is suitable for serving drinks and pre-prepared food. It also has a long serving hatch making it easy to serve a lot of people.
