Weddings, Functions, Meetings and Conferences

The Wight is a popular venue for all types of social gatherings. Offering quality food and service in a comfortable setting we are able to host weddings, christening parties, wakes, birthday and anniversary parties and association and club dinner dances.

The Wight has a wedding licence which enable us to offer a complete wedding on the premises. Such occasions are greatly enhanced by the layout of the entrance lobby, restaurant, bar and dance floor, which, whilst all being separate areas, are all visible to each other and provide the feeling of being in one continuous area. A further benefit is that The Wight has a permanent dance floor and stage which avoids disturbance when restaurant tables need moved after dinner to make space for dancing.

WiFi access for laptops makes us an ideal venue for company meetings, product launches and in-house conferences. We are also able to provide facilities for interviews and accommodate groups (whether residential or non-residential) who are attending seminars and training courses.
