The Library
The Library is a grand, adaptable space located on Level 1. It offers a maximum capacity of 500 people in reception-style – but it may also be combined with the adjoining Lecture Hall to cater for events of up to 1,000 guests.
Its notable features include impressive triple height ceilings, natural daylight, and optional black-out facilities – providing a versatile setting to host conferences, larger seminars, exhibitions, and even graduation ceremonies.
The Library is also directly accessible from the Grand Foyer, which can be used as a convenient registration area if required.

These range from canapé and grazing menus to bowl food, buffet options, and street food – all partnered with an equally extensive drinks list.
