An event space in a former textile room with projector, but noise from band rehearsals at times.

 The event space is also equipped with a projector and screen. However, between 5pm and 11pm and at weekends, there is some noise from bands rehearsing above the space. As such, during these times we would not recommend screening quiet films or holding a conference which requires absolute silence.
