About this space

The Avon Room is a well-finished space for smaller events, whether that's a private dinner, an intimate wedding, or a corporate meeting.

Natural light and parkland views come as standard. The room holds up to 16 guests in a boardroom or dining layout, and AV equipment is already in place for those who need it.

The room has period character without feeling stuck in the past, which makes it a good fit for both private celebrations and working sessions.
