Access to Lane Farm is excellent, we are just 5 minutes from the M6, Junction 36.

The Rum Story

Lowther Street Whitehaven Cumbria, CA28 7DN

Unusual

Being housed within a very old building means that your surroundings are always going to be of interest. However this doesn’t mean that the facilities aren't state of the art. We can offer OHP, PowerPoint projection, video and large screens, typing and copying services. We are fortunate in that we have several areas available for hospitality use, with a 20-seat boardroom, an education suite capable of comfortably seating 75 people and the vault area with options ranging from 62 seated at one long table to 150 people in a theatre style. The events already held have been varied with Wedding receptions, Annual General Meetings, Book launches, Government Planning meetings, Astronomical Society exhibitions, Legal and Community works and Musical events. We can also cater for many differing tastes with several set menus plus a 'bespoke' costing service for that slightly different requirement. Be it tea and biscuits or a five-course feast, we can cater for you.
