About this space

The East Wing is one of our more exclusive spaces, as this is usually home to our exhibitions and therefore rarely available for private hire.

This is located just across from our famous Courtyard, this venue offers a blank canvas space, with beautiful high ceilings and large windows, with a series of open plan, interlinking rooms.
