About this space

Outdoor Area is a private outdoor space at The Gallery, a sheltered walled courtyard defined by an intimate, enclosed layout.

Design: The space is a long, narrow courtyard with a hard-surfaced floor and a strong linear sightline framed by planted screening. Daylight filters through overhead greenery and simple, repeatable furniture arrangements emphasise the courtyard's proportions.

Features: The outdoor area includes a PA system and speakers and allows hosts to play their own music or bring a DJ. The space provides venue Wi‑Fi, step-free guest entrance and wheelchair-accessible facilities including accessible toilets. The layout accommodates long, rectangular table runs and straightforward service routes.

Ideal for: Groups of friends and family seeking a relaxed, seated dinner or an informal standing reception in a private outdoor courtyard.

What sets it apart: A large mural on the side wall provides an artful, private backdrop for events.

What guests say: The space presents an elegant, art-filled setting and a considered layout that suits private gatherings.
