Venue
a little about us
A historic setting
Halesowen is a large market town only nine miles from Birmingham City Centre, with great links to the motorway it is easily accessible. Benefiting from a central location in the Midlands while maintaining its charm and charisma away from the noise of the busy city.
Newfields takes its name from the house which was built on the site in around 1885 and occupies a large tract of land. When originally built the house was a very high quality for its time that would have been a very desirous residence.
In the mid 1930’s the owners agreed to sell the property to a Masonic Lodge who together with 3 other Lodges formed the Newfields Masonic Hall which was consecrated in 1936. The original house can still be easily identified to the right hand side whilst to the left is the large extension which houses the magnificant Temple Room.
On entering the foyer the main staircase leads to the upper floors and the recently refurbished Masonic Temple which can be used for civil wedding ceremonies. To the left of the foyer you will find the small but impressive Regis Room which can accommodate smaller ceremonies with your nearest and dearest, and is the buffet serving area for all occasions.
The final stop is the bar which has an array of alcoholic drinks available including draught beers, bottled beer and wine so there are plenty of options for your guests. It is also fully stocked with soft drinks and has tea and coffee facilities available. Serviced by our experienced Catering Manager who has been in the trade for over 25 years, he has worked in fine dining hotels, restaurants and venues, so brings with him a wealth of experience to ensure the best service possible to yourself and your guests.
