Alternative Seating Options

A number of alternative venue layout options are available for our Grand Hall, intimate hall as well as our outdoor reception areas.

Ideals also for cocktail evenings, network events and short performances.

Herringbone, “V” or Chevron

This style can be incorporated into a mixture of classroom or theatre style seating affording attendees to sit staggered but angled towards a central point or stage while enabling guests a better view and also the ability to interact with each other.

This arrangement is ideal for workshops, conferences, interactive meetings, product launches performances and training sessions.
