About this space

Scientific heritage meets contemporary design in The Science Room, offering an elegant and iconic space that is perfect, for exhibitions, conferences and receptions.

Situated on the ground floor, The Science Room offers Greek Revival scenery in combination with natural and dynamic light that’s perfect for events looking to make a striking first impression to their guests. The room offers space for up to 120 standing guests or 100 for a seated dinner.

In 2024, the room was upgraded with the latest AV equipment, including new digital microphones and a state-of-the-art HD camera. Easy to use and centrally controlled from one device, they provide the perfect backdrop for presentations that will educate and inspire all those in attendance. New hybrid capabilities also allow planners to be more flexible with the events they host, providing the best of both in-person and virtual events to help bring more people together.

Super-fast Wi-Fi is available throughout the room to manage anything you may require it for, while effective soundproofing through out means no distractions and disruptions during your important event.

For those looking to be inspired for their next photography or film project, The Science Room’s striking architectural symmetry also provides a striking backdrop for photoshoots and filming projects. Natural light is also a key feature of The Science Room, reducing the need for additional equipment when it comes to getting that perfect shot.
