The Hart of Martin

The new name for Martin Club

The Hart of Martin is a friendly community social club that is open to all, with no need to be a member to use the facilities.

Function Hall

The modern and spacious hall is available for hire for activities and events, as well as private functions (weddings, anniversaries, birthday parties etc.) It is adjacent to the bar area so the bar is available for events, but the bar can also be closed off so the hall can be hired independently. There is a kitchen available for event catering, and the hall also includes a skittle alley.

  • Hall measures approximately 13m x 11.2m
  • Fully-equipped kitchen
  • Free central heating
  • Projector, screen and sound system
  • Free Wifi
  • Fire limit capacity of 200 people
