About this space

The Grand Hall is a formal hall in the Grand Connaught Rooms characterised by an ornamented barrel‑vaulted ceiling and a run of central crystal chandeliers.

Design: The Grand Hall displays classical plasterwork, fluted columns and ornate moulded cornices in a restrained, pale palette that emphasises regular, axial proportions.

Features: The room contains an integrated PA system and presentation hardware in working order, plus venue Wi‑Fi and air conditioning. The space includes a cleared dancefloor area and allows external DJs or playback, subject to the venue's noise restrictions. The room is wheelchair accessible.

Ideal for: Corporate and private groups seeking a formal, ceremonial setting for seated dinners or standing receptions with dancing.

What sets it apart: The room has a long ceremonial central aisle framed by columns that preserves clear sightlines down its full length.

What guests say: The Grand Hall is ornate and formal in character. The room's presentation equipment is functional and suited to long presentation days, but temperature control can be inconsistent.

Christmas Party · 170 guests · November 2022
The venue is really stunning and spectacular as well. With the decoration is bringing all the Festive Vibes we need.
Unfortunately, the staff lack professionalism and rely on the venue's look. They were not helpful at all after the event to collect decoration which was left behind. Collection was not clear and there is a lot of confusion ad they cleared out decorationbut also asked us to next time take it down to reception. Not up to standards at all.
