Main Hall

VENUE HIRE

Modern spaces at the heart of a historic building.

The Main Hall is one of our recently refurbished spaces, specifically designed to host celebrations and events on a big scale. It’s a large and versatile room, and includes an in-built PA system and projector, adjustable lighting and a portable bar. Just off of the space is the Picnic Area which can be adapted into a green room, the Museum Cafe, all-gender and accessible toilets, the loading bay where we load in equipment, and the beautiful shop. The furniture can be cleared or kept in situ – whatever would be best for your event.

Capacity: 200 for drinks reception, 90 for dinner, 90 theatre style.
