About this space

The Vaults is a Basement in St James Wine Vaults. The room's most distinctive quality is its intimate, stone-lined cellar character.

Design: The room has a low, arched ceiling, exposed stone detailing around a shallow stage recess and smooth plastered walls. The floor is dark and the plan is a narrow, focused rectangle that keeps attention on the performance end.

Features: The space includes a shallow raised stage area, in-room Wi‑Fi and air conditioning. The room permits own music and bringing a DJ.

Ideal for: Small social groups seeking a lively, music-led standing reception or an informal seated live-performance in a compact, intimate setting.

What sets it apart: A fixed PA and stage lighting rig is included, allowing plug-in live bands or DJ setups.

What guests say: The space benefits from attentive, helpful staff and reliable on-the-night support. The Vaults delivers a buzzy, energetic feel when live acts are on.
