Of course, the glamour of this space isn’t all it offers, with state of the art AV equipment and lighting found throughout.

Up to 350 guests can be seated theatre-style for a conference or presentation, but the space can accommodate more (up to a maximum of 700) depending on the desired layout for the event.

Conway Hall

The finished concrete floors give a raw appeal to the facility, while the open and in places patched brickwork of the walls provides a non-uniform backdrop that is perfect for drawing attention to centerpieces and main themes. Guests will love the wide and open spaces, and be thrilled by the unfinished feel of the place. You’ll be impressed with the character and charm that so easily lends itself to any type of decoration or showcase.
