It has a semi-sprung floor, suitable for dances and other functions. Tables and chairs are also available. The kitchen is suitable for serving and reheating for small functions but is not equipped for a full catering service, therefore no crockery, etc., is available. The second room is the Christie Room which has a single billiard table but no facilities for refreshments of its own as the only access to the kitchen is via the Leschallas Hall, which may be let to others.
