The Main Hall is capable of holding 300 seated people and can be set up for seated dining for 120 people or 200 standing with buffet or finger food service. The hall is usually set up in a horseshoe around a low central stage area but can also be set up in a traditional long hall configuration with a raised stage at one end.

Indoor and Outdoor spaces
As you wander around TLC you will find great spaces that emphasise the rustic architecture of the building.
The main entrance hall contains artwork from local and indigenous artists about relevant events or themes in the community's life.
The verandah beside the main hall has a wave pattern with fish (and a lighthouse) which express the Christian symbolism used throughout history.
