About this space

The Courtyard is a Terrace in Seashell, a semi-private outdoor courtyard defined by an enclosed layout that sits between the venue's buildings and opens to the sky.

Design: The Courtyard presents modern, angular metal cladding and large floor-to-ceiling glazing that frame a central open lawn. The palette pairs bronze-toned metal and timber accents with neat planted beds and clear sightlines across the space.

Features: The Courtyard provides venue Wi‑Fi and allows own music and external DJs subject to a noise restriction. Fixed timber bench seating and an artificial lawn create usable zones for standing or casual seating, while planted borders mark circulation. Step-free guest entrance, wheelchair access and accessible toilets are available from the courtyard.

Ideal for: Small teams or social groups seeking a relaxed, informal outdoor gathering that mixes standing socialising and casual seated areas.
