Avenue Banqueting

In the Embankment Galleries, the whole venue can hold 800 for a standing reception. Our Mezzanine level can seat up to 340 for a dinner on rounds or 192 on a long table, and our East and West Galleries can hold around 300 standing in each space. Originally a barrel-vaulted bargehouse linked directly to the River Thames, the Embankment Galleries are now our most modern and adaptable events space. Spread over the ground floor and Mezzanine level of the South Wing, this network of rooms host annual exhibitions but as of September 2017 - February 2018 it is also available for private events.

The Main Hall has been host to fashion shows (we hosted Ted Baker fashion show back in 2013), art exhibitions, cinema screenings, exhibitions and other interactive events. Even the odd (and those big ones) TV filming occurs here too! So if you're thinking of producing a new show, comedy night or old-fashioned music performance, do get in touch and we can take you for a tour around our wonderful venue!

Venues for business meetings and seminars don't have to look dull, and this room proves it. As the room's name suggests, the Old Courtroom was used for legal purposes before being turned into a meeting space that retains the history of its past. With floor-to-ceiling shelves filled with books and captivating wall details, the space is an intriguing nod to its previous use, and will be a fascinating space for all attendees. The room is fully furnished to fit up to 50 people for meeting purposes.

This spacious and bright room is a wonderful choice for corporate functions. With copious natural light this space has beautiful views over Aston Parkland. It is an open-plan space so you have ample room to break up into sub-groups and reconfigure the seating arrangements. You are able to make full use of the stylish 82 bar to keep your delegates refreshed.
