🎄 CHRISTMAS PARTY HIRE🎄

We currently have a few spaces available for hire between now and the end of the year.

If you're looking for a private space where you can let loose with your friends or work colleagues then we've got what you need!

Whether it's your work Christmas party or a concert for your community group we can help. We can cover events from 10 to 350 people and can help support with catering and entertainment if needed. And with plenty of free parking on site there's even the option to leave your car overnight should you so wish 🍾

Remember all the profits from our hires will go back into helping our charity work within the community so you'll be helping a local charity too!

Update: Unplugged at Pioneer

Unfortunately, we’ve made the difficult decision to cancel our upcoming Unplugged event at Pioneer, due to lower than expected ticket sales.

We’re really grateful to everyone who showed an interest and supported the event and we are sorry for any disappointment.

The Pioneer will continue to be a home for creativity and screen free activities so please take a look at our website for all future events.
