The Main Hall

The Main Hall is a truly awe-inspiring venue for conferences and large meetings. Here, soaring Ionic columns lead the eye upwards to the magnificent ceiling, a Baroque masterpiece painted by Sir Peter Paul Rubens.

The Main Room's opulent surroundings lend a sense of grandeur to any corporate event. Your guests will be dazzled and inspired in equal measure.

  • Up to 400 guests theatre style
  • Up to 280 guests cabaret style

The Undercroft

Once the setting for celebrations enjoyed by James I and his companions, the Undercroft makes a more intimate counterpart to the imposing Main Hall.

This atmospheric space has charm and character in abundance, and the cosy arches and rich acoustics make it a perfect setting for away days, meetings and conferences.

  • Up to 350 guests for standing drinks receptions

We had a fabulous evening at Banqueting House. The venue is simply stunning and the events team helped us to envisage what our event could be. They assisted in executing a very successful evening. We hope to return one day.
