Our Event Spaces

Multiple rooms across several floors, each with its own character. Whether you need an elegant dining room, a ceremony space with real presence, or a bar with a dancefloor, we will configure the venue to suit your event.

The Rooms

The Hall has four main spaces that can be used independently or together. Most events use two or three rooms through the course of the day or evening, with guests moving naturally between them. Lift access connects all floors.
