About this space

Originally the Ladies’ Reading Room for the Library, the Upper Hall is a versatile space full of natural light.

A blank canvas, the space can be configured in a variety of ways, and is often used in conjunction with the Great Hall. The Upper Hall has been used to hold rehearsals, book launches, birthday parties, and more.

To ensure everything runs smoothly, you’ll be supported by our dedicated event planners, AV support and complimentary WiFi.
