About this space

Positioned at the top of the Grand Entrance these adjoining rooms feature a lot of natural light. They can be used together for private dining and receptions or separately with the Library as the core event space and the Writing and Georgian rooms as breakout and catering areas.

Ideal for smaller conferences of up to 90 guests this large book-lined space is brimming with Ri history, where even the carpet reflects Faraday’s ‘Lines of Force’ experiment.
