Important Documents
Hall
Morlan’s multi-purpose hall is suitable for concerts, plays and all sorts of performances. It has a stage that can be adapted with regards to shape, height and size, a piano, sound and lighting systems, and a ‘backstage’ area or 'green room'. The hall is also suitable for large committees, conferences, lectures, public meetings, book or craft fairs, and dance, exercise and singing classes; it can be arranged, with chairs and tables, according to the needs of the event. If you don't require the full capacity of the hall, we have curtains that can be drawn across the room to provide a smaller, more intimate space. Morlan is licensed to play recorded music.
The hall can hold over 200 people theatre style and around 100 people cabaret style. It measures 21m x 11.9m.
Committee Rooms Morlan has two committee rooms:
Coffee Bar
The Coffee Bar is on two levels with our Gallery located on the upper level and hosts art exhibitions throughout the year – please contact Morlan for more information.
Catering
We can provide drinks for your event. Morlan is a Fairtrade centre so only serves Fairtrade orange juice, teas, coffees, sugar and, whenever possible, biscuits. Alternatively, you can hire our kitchen facilities to make and serve your own drinks; this must be done by prior arrangement.
If you need catering during office hours, this must be done through Morlan and Morlan has set up a catering contract with treehouse an organic foodshop and restaurant in Aberystwyth. All ingredients used by treehouse are: • organically produced if available • locally and seasonally sourced wherever possible • fair trade where relevant.
If your event is outside office hours or over the weekend, you can choose between using Morlan's catering arrangements or making your own arrangements.
