Venue Hire in Huddersfield

The Main Hall  is where the big stuff happens. It holds up to 250 seated or 650 standing, and it comes with a professional stage, PA system and lighting rig, the same setup we use for our weekly tribute nights, comedy shows and live bands. If you want a DJ, a live band or any kind of performance at your event, everything is already here. No need to hire in external sound gear.

The Cafe Bar  is upstairs and holds 60 seated or 80 standing. It’s a more relaxed space with its own bar, great for smaller birthdays, intimate receptions, after-work dos and private parties where you want everyone together in one room.

We regularly hold private events of all sizes, including:

Birthday parties and milestone celebrations (30th, 40th, 50th, 60th and beyond)

Wedding receptions

Christenings and naming ceremonies

Corporate events, team parties and awards nights

Charity fundraisers

Engagement parties and anniversaries

Every booking comes with bar service (we’re cashless, card payments only), venue staff, and time for your setup and breakdown. If you’re in the main hall, you get full use of the stage, PA system and lighting too.

We’ve hosted over 100 live events a year since we opened in March 2022. The entertainment setup gets tested every single week, it’s not something we dust off for the occasional function.

Drop us an email at info@smilebarandvenue.co.uk with your preferred date, roughly how many guests you’re expecting, and which space you’re interested in. We’ll get back to you to chat through availability and what your event needs.
