Can I hire more than one room?

Our venue is very flexible and some of the rooms are joined, allowing organisers to link spaces or use different rooms as breakout areas around a main space.

Can you supply food and drink to our guests?

We pride ourselves in tailoring our menus to every event. After all, the demands of a conference delegate is likely to be far different than those attending an awards bash. Our food, created by chefs that understands the wants and needs of hungry delegates, can help your guests attentive after lunchtime, grazing throughout the afternoon or well-fed in the evening after your event.

I’ll need to connect to the internet during our meeting.

No problem, our complimentary Wi-Fi service is super-fast and you don't have to worry about bandwidth either.

We have a complimentary cloakroom available for delegates to leave their belongings, backed up by on-site 24hr security so delegates can enjoy the meeting in the knowledge their valuables are safe.
