About The National Archives

Welcome to The National Archives, where our government building also serves as a unique venue for corporate events. We offer two spaces: the Auditorium and the Learning Room. The Auditorium is ideal for presentations or screenings. It includes access to a private lounge area for breaks.

The Learning Room is excellent for workshops, meetings, or smaller group sessions. The two rooms can be combined for larger events. Outdoors, we offer landscaped grounds with lakeside views, paved areas with café seating, and the occasional visit from swans.
