About this space

The grand staircase at Barts is home to the William Hogarth masterpieces ‘The Pool of Bethesda’ and ‘The Good Samaritan’. These vast canvases, completed in 1736, celebrate the long charitable history of the hospital, providing free healthcare for all, and are the largest works ever undertaken by the artist.

The Great Hall is the jewel in the crown of the historic hospital, featuring an ornate plaster ceiling and, on the walls, the names of over 3000 benefactors. The room has been expertly repaired and conserved as part of the Sharing Historic Barts project (2024-25), with new lighting, heating and audio systems to support large scale events.

These awe-inspiring interiors are an ideal backdrop for all types of events, including meetings, conferences, weddings, dinners, talks concerts and wellness activities.
