About the venue
Matches Sports Bar and Social is a sports bar on Butchery Lane in Canterbury city centre, with private areas for corporate hire, team socials and parties of 6 to 160 people.
The Match Box is a private room for up to 15, or 6 to 25 guests in total, with an ultra-wide HD screen and surround sound. It costs £150 for 2.5 hours or £180 for 5 hours, including a £100 bar tab and the booking fee. The Match Box Suite takes the whole top floor for 25 to 60 guests, with two big screens.
For the largest groups, the Whole Floor Takeover gives 60 to 160 guests the middle floor, with ten HD screens, pool tables, darts, shuffleboard and two karaoke rooms. That suits a big team social or a staff party.
Corporate hire is available for 6 to 80 guests, with a private room, a big screen, surround sound, fast wifi and tea and coffee, so it can work for a presentation or an informal meeting before the social part of the day.
