    History of the Space

    A significant history, with notable links to royalty, Parliament and the Second World War, is etched into Assembly Hall’s polished English oak panelled walls. Its historical significance, architectural beauty and contemporary amenities combined, will fascinate your guests and add prestige by association to your corporate events.

    Our Assembly Hall was the host venue for receptions following former Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral and the Coronation of King Charles III. Both historically significant events were attended by royal figures, ambassadors and Heads of State from around the world.

    Split over two levels, Assembly Hall can seat up 600 delegates theatre-style, or accommodate a range of different event formats.

    Event Formats

    From client hospitality to staff parties or industry networking events, up to 500 guests standing can enjoy drinks, canapes, bowls or interactive food stations, for less formal occasions.

    A seated dinner served within the grand setting of Assembly Hall provides an unforgettable experience for your guests.

    Dancing the rest of the night away following a formal dinner is the perfect way to elevate fundraising events, Christmas celebrations and award ceremony after parties.
