- High ceilings and original arch windows create a special atmosphere
- Large room suitable for large events
- New lift provides step-free access for wheelchair users
At over 29 metres long, Studio 1 has more than enough room for 120 guests, providing ample opportunity for your party to sit, eat, drink and dance together.
A new wheelchair-accessible lift and mezzanine level ensure that Studio 1 is easily accessible from the ground floor enables easy access to the bar and toilet for all of your guests.
We are so grateful we had our wedding reception at Jackson’s Lane. It’s uniquely wonderful due to the brilliant windows and beams, and the pontoon lights added a sense of magic and warmth to the room, creating the perfect ambience and setting for our special day. We constantly had guests coming to tell us how special it looked, although we barely needed to add our own decorations as it’s such a beautiful space. Thank you to the fantastic team who worked so closely with us to bring everything to life!
