Venue Hire

Our own events take priority, followed by those of our key partners, and due to limited space in the diary, we approach each hire enquiry on a case by case basis, requesting details of your proposed event to ensure it complements our existing programme and aligns with our ethos. Please complete all areas on our hire enquiry form and we will be in touch.

From the main floor space with a seated capacity of up to 250 and a standing capacity of 350, to the South Chapel for smaller talks or meetings, and a fully accessible mezzanine floor.
