Whether for your wedding, a party for a ‘significant’ birthday, a family reunion or any other celebration the Southwick D-Day Memorial Hall is ideal. It is well maintained, clean and bright with excellent facilities. The ability to book the whole complex from Friday afternoon until Sunday allows plenty of time for decorating the hall and clearing up afterwards. The licence limits numbers to; Eisenhower Room – 248 standing, 161 seated, Montgomery Room – 75 standing, 48 seated.
For business meetings and committees either room may be booked for morning, afternoon or evening use with the brand new AV system in the Eisenhower Room a particularly useful resource. In April 2019 a brand new commercial grade kitchen was installed as well as new Air Source heating/air conditioning and insulation, making the D-Day Memorial Hall amongst the best equipped facility of it’s kind.
The close proximity to St James church, Southwick, St Nicholas, South Boarhunt and St Mary’s, Portchester makes the hall very convenient for wedding receptions, christening celebrations and funeral wakes.
The hall holds an entertainment licence, with music allowed to be played until 11pm (10.30pm Sundays). Events must close at midnight.
Individual event licence for the sale of alcohol will be required by applying for a TENS to Winchester City Council: http://www.winchester.gov.uk/licensing/alcohol-entertainment/ten/
