Make your event unforgettable

Our modern, glazed Atrium provides the ideal setting in which to welcome your guests with champagne and delicious canapés or to enjoy an exceptional dinner. Theatrical lighting adds to the appeal of our largest and most impressive space.

In contrast the Victorian Entrance Hall with its balcony, richly decorated ceiling and marble floor is perfect setting for more intimate parties. For a sleek, contemporary dinner party the Gallery Café offers blank canvas for a range of themes.

  • Private dining for up to 120
  • Overall capacity for receptions and cocktail parties 400
