About this space

Nestled away from the activity of our courtyard, The Priestley Room offers a more intimate and quieter environment for board meetings, private dining and business lunches.

The nostalgic smell of classic books sets the scene for a magical ambience that is just waiting for further discoveries to be made, skills to be learned and ideas to be shared.

History and modernity are exemplified by our LCD plasma TV screen that is surrounded by iconic scientific literature. HD webcam and super-fast Wi-Fi ensure delegates have the practical solutions for your occasion, while a hot food counter at the back of the room also ensures catering for working lunches and private dinners is kept warm when needed.

Nurturing its charm with its historic surroundings, uncover the Priestley Room for your next special event.
