We’re back with another beautiful venue to wax lyrical about.
London’s famous Honourable Artillery Company, known as the HAC was founded in 1537 by Henry VIII. This 18th-century mansion is an outstanding venue unlike any other in London. Situated in Finsbury Barracks, there are elegant, versatile spaces for hire surrounded by five acres of green space, right in the heart of London.
For outside events, the Artillery Garden really is a winner, an exclusive five acres of stunning parkland, it's a luxury practically unheard of in central London. The garden can accommodate large numbers of guests, up to 5000 in fact, making it perfect for balls, BBQs, summer parties and more. The garden is usually home to the HAC Cricket Club during summer months and is used for rugby and football during the winter.
The Artillery Garden is usually used along with the Prince Consort Rooms which is also available for hire and can hold up to 700 guests for a reception or buffet. These two spaces combine to create the ultimate corporate event experience.
