About this space

The Great Room is our jewel in the crown, accommodating up 80 guests cabaret style or 180 theatre style. The room is perfect for fine dining or awards accommodating up to 130 people.

The room features high ceilings and a skylight which floods in natural daylight. Surrounding the room is the series of six paintings which are breathtakingly beautiful to witness in person. The room features built-in uplighters which can be changed to suit a colour of your choice, a built-in stage and audio visual equipment. A fun fact about this room: The Great Room played host to one of the first telephone demonstrations by Sir Alexander Bell.
