About this space

Banyard Room & Lookout Terrace is a Function Room in The Tivoli defined by its mid-century furnishings and a homely, furnished interior that suits private gatherings.

Design: The room pairs warm timber floors and navy wall panelling with long wooden tables, layered rugs and a gallery of framed prints. The low ceiling and recessed lighting create an informal, domestic palette and clear sightlines across the space.

Features: The room is laid out with fixed long tables and chairs and a wall-mounted screen. The space includes Wi‑Fi, a PA system and speakers, allowance for guests' own music, ample natural daylight and step-free access.

Ideal for: Small teams and social groups seeking seated dinners or relaxed meetings in an informal, conversation-friendly layout.

What sets it apart: A private rooftop terrace directly adjoins the room, providing an outdoor extension to the event space.

What guests say: The space shows well-curated decorative detail and a relaxed atmosphere. The room benefits from helpful, communicative on-site staff during bookings and events.

Birthday Party · 80 guests · November 2024

Great venue with a fun atmosphere. Staff were helpful and professional

A lot of stairs, especially carrying up cakes, karaoke hire equipment. But that's also kind of the charm of the building

FAQ

One hour is available for decorating before guests arrive.

No. The venue cannot provide seating while keeping enough open space for a singer and a dance floor; with these elements, the event would have to be fully standing.
