The Wilberforce Hall was once the original dining hall for the boy’s school and boasts traditional décor with a Victorian fireplace, parquet wooden floor, wood paneled ceiling and beams with medieval style chandeliers and stained-glass windows.
It is a unique setting for meetings, conferences, private dining, celebratory events, or special occasions. Chairs can be laid out in theatre style or round table dining and the room comes complete with a lectern and microphone with PA system, a suspended screen and front projector to play videos, presentations, or images.
Next door to the Wilberforce hall is the Concourse which can also be hired as an additional breakout space or a pre-dinner drinks reception area.
The Wilberforce hall and Concourse is a traditional yet relaxed surrounding to host an important life event such as a wedding or a family celebration. To find out more about holding a special event such as a wedding please visit our wedding page.
