The Ned

The Tapestry requires a minimum food and beverage spend of £7,500 including VAT for up to 80 guests. This amount can be used against any pre-ordered food from private dining menus and beverages consumed on the 6th floor during your event. If the minimum spend is not met with food and beverage, the shortfall is charged as room hire.

The Tapestry accommodates a maximum of 80 guests in cabaret style or 80 guests on round tables. The capacity may be reduced depending on AV requirements. For presentations where guests need clear sightlines to screens, additional side screens are recommended for those seated at the back.

Access to The Tapestry for day events is from 08:00 to 17:00. This allows time for setup before your event and breakdown afterward. Organizers and suppliers can access the space from the start of the access period.

A mandatory 14.5% discretionary service charge applies to all food and beverage consumption. AV equipment and any third-party services (such as flowers or entertainment) are additional costs on top of the minimum spend. There is no separate room hire fee if the minimum spend is met.

Full-day packages include arrival tea/coffee with breakfast items, mid-morning tea/coffee break with food options, working lunch, afternoon tea/coffee break with food options, and water throughout the day (refreshed at breaks). Branded stationery, pens, and pads are also provided along with a dedicated Events Manager.

For cabaret-style seating with 80 guests, The Ned recommends using additional screens on the sides of the room because people at the back may find it difficult to see the large screen at the front. The venue can accommodate various AV requirements, though specific equipment costs are additional to the minimum spend.

The venue offers a 5-day optional hold upon request while you finalize details. Space is not automatically held during the quotation process, so prompt decision-making is recommended. The venue can check availability for multiple dates simultaneously.

The Tapestry features original walnut paneling and crystal chandeliers, taking its name from the remarkable pastoral tapestry that wraps around the upper walls - the largest of its kind ever produced in England when created in the 1920s. This creates an impressive, high-quality atmosphere suitable for important client meetings and conferences.

Some dates may only be available for multi-day events alongside group accommodation requirements. Single-day events may be restricted on certain dates, with Mondays and Fridays typically having fewer restrictions. It's recommended to check multiple date options when making enquiries.

The minimum spend of £7,500 including VAT applies regardless of actual attendance, as long as you're within the 80-guest capacity. For significantly smaller groups (such as 8-12 people), alternative spaces like The Drawing Room with a lower minimum spend of £3,250 including VAT may be more cost-effective.
