The cosy Snug area is included with the hire of the Playroom. This area is secluded and slightly more private, with a luxurious velvet sofa and chairs.
The bar area is not available for Private hire. As Racks’ hub where we show sport and often have a very busy bar, it’s not a possiblility unfortunately.
We do not offer exclusive hire of our outdoor terrace for any group size. A portion of the terrace is always available in conjunction with private hire of the Playroom and a section for smaller groups is available for Summer Parties
At the rear of the Playroom is the Top Table. This semi-private table is perfect for either holding meetings or watching sports. Large screen TV perfect for both meetings and sports.
