About this space

The Canvas + Glasshouse is a private blank-canvas function room in Sir Devonshire Square defined by a wide, open-plan layout that supports fully custom set-ups.

Design: The room presents a neutral palette of pale herringbone parquet, exposed timber beams and off-white walls across a rectangular plan, creating an uncluttered backdrop for bespoke styling and staging.

Features: The space includes an in-built PA system with speaker hookup and allows external music, a clear area suitable for a dancefloor, air conditioning and venue Wi‑Fi. Accessible toilets, a step-free guest entrance and wheelchair access are provided. A venue noise restriction applies to amplified music.

Ideal for: Small to mid-sized corporate teams or social groups seeking a relaxed, adaptable room for standing receptions or seated dinners.

What sets it apart: An attached glasshouse provides a bright indoor-outdoor extension and sheltered courtyard entrance for events.
