About this space

Nash & Brandon Rooms. Event Space in the Institute of Contemporary Arts presenting a pair of connected classical rooms distinguished by ornate historic plasterwork.

Design: The rooms have tall ceilings, large sash windows and dark timber floors that let daylight flow between spaces. The painted panelling and sparse fittings produce a restrained, gallery-like backdrop suitable for clean staging or displays.

Features: The space comprises two interlinked rooms that can be used together or separately and provides venue-grade PA/speakers, Wi‑Fi and permission to play your own music or hire a DJ. The straightforward layouts make furniture reconfiguration and circulation planning simple.

Ideal for: Groups seeking an intimate, quiet setting for seated dinners or relaxed standing receptions that favour close sightlines and an unfussy interior.

What guests say: The space is intimate and quiet during weekday use, and staff are consistently helpful. The rooms have reliable Wi‑Fi and accessible power sockets.
