Venue Hire
Arts Centre Washington. An old tone building with a long, tiled canopy over a set of double doors and a large stained-glass window. In between the door and the window is a teal sign that reads ‘Arts Centre Washington’ in white text. Underneath the sign is a large round planter filled with greenery. On the left is a big green tree and at the base of it a bunch of wildflowers.
