The Bar & Garden is The Ministry’s party space, made up of a bar inside and garden outside. Inside, a long copper pipe bar runs along the back of the room, surrounded by custom art and comfortable furnishings that mix raw industrial style with design. Outside, fire pits, heaters and covers keep the garden busy all year, and in summer it’s a sun trap. A quality sound system and DJ equipment are included in the hire, so it’s ready for drinks receptions, networking events, summer parties and Christmas parties. Available at weekends and on weekdays by arrangement.
