Twenty-four seats, one room
The long table
The dining room holds one table and that table seats twenty-four. Groups take the house for it.
The table was made in 1959 from the floor joists of the building that burned, which is why it is six metres long and why the grain runs the wrong way at one end. It has been refinished twice and moved never, because it will not go through either door.
Taking the house
Between October and April we let the whole house to one group: eleven rooms, the kitchen for the nights you want it, and the table. That is the only way to have the table to yourselves, because on ordinary nights it is where everybody eats together.
- Eleven rooms, sleeping up to twenty-two
- Table seats twenty-four, which leaves room for two from the road
- Kitchen cooks one sitting a night for the group
- Three days' notice for any night you want cooked
Working here
People hold small working sessions at the table, and it suits that badly in the best way: there is no screen, the chairs are hard, and the light goes at four in December. Groups who come to decide something tend to decide it. Groups who come to present at each other go elsewhere the next year.
What we do not have
No projector, no sound system, no flip chart, and no way to darken the room. We can put paper and pencils on the table and keep the kettle filled. That is the whole offer.
Play happens in one room of this building and nowhere else. No bets are taken online, no accounts are held, and no money moves through this site.
