For more than 50 years, Lakeside Country Club has specialised in smiles, laughs and long-lasting memories. First, as a venue for world-class cabaret and comedy artists. Then, from 1986, as the TV home of the BDO World Darts Championship.
Now, this legendary venue has been reborn and reinvigorated as a flexible, hireable event space. It's the same Lakeside you've seen on TV – grand, spacious and tailor-made for special occasions. The difference is that it can all be yours.
And that means all of it. Our 2,500-capacity main hall, with its broadcast-quality stage, dance floor and balcony. Our fully kitted bars and professional kitchen. Our delightfully private location – tucked away from the road beside our very own lake. And let's not forget the support and expertise of our team, who have been helping craft special moments for many happy years.
Whether it's your big day, a big party or you're doing big business, we're here to help make it happen. Get in touch today and start dreaming of your next special celebration.
