About this space

The Bloomsbury Ballroom is a 1920s Art Deco ballroom whose defining character is its preserved period interior and theatrical scale.

Design: The interior presents high decorative ceilings, moulded cornices and ceiling roses that reflect its 1920s origins. The long rectangular hall pairs tall windows and heavy drapes with a dark polished timber floor and mirrored panels at one end.

Features: A fixed PA system and ceiling and floor-mounted speakers are installed for amplified sound. A central timber dancefloor supports dancing and receptions, and the space permits external DJs and own music. An adjacent ante-room provides a staffed bar area during events. Practical facilities include Wi‑Fi, air conditioning, level access, wheelchair access and accessible toilets.

Ideal for: Organisers seeking a polished, performance-orientated setting for formal seated dinners or standing receptions.

What sets it apart: A purpose-built auditorium layout and regular use as a performance venue that accommodates staged shows and live acts.

What guests say: The auditorium is striking and well suited to live entertainment. The venue staff are friendly and attentive, and events are well organised.
