About
Originally built for entertaining, the stunning Georgian Assembly Rooms offer a unique corporate hospitality experience. With nine Whitefriars crystal chandeliers and portraits by Gainsborough, Ramsey and Hoare the venue makes a prestigious setting for any event. The Assembly Rooms also house the Fashion museum, one of the world’s finest collections of fashionable dress.
The interlinking rooms at the Assembly Rooms provide versatile space for conferences, gala dinners, AGM’s and exhibitions. The Ball Room can accommodate up to 500 conference delegates or 310 people for dinner. The elegant Tea Room is well suited to smaller events, with the Great Octagon and Card Room being ideal for exhibition and catering space. Our acclaimed caterers, Searcys, offer innovative food of the highest quality using locally sourced ingredients where possible.
