Sadler's Wells
Sadler's Wells Theatre unveiled a refurbished event space in May. The Kahn, situated behind the adjoining newly named Fox Garden Court Café, has been upgraded to provide a flexible space that makes the most of the natural light. The space has been designed with maximum flexibility in mind so that the room scheme can be changed to suit corporate, artistic and private events. The space is suited to events, board meetings, workshops and seminars for small to medium sized groups of up to 56 theatre-style, or 25 boardroom-style. The Kahn has a total floor area of 60sqm.

'Roaring and Startled Stags', two sculptures designed by George Hider, in keeping with the neighbouring Royal Richmond Park’s fallow and red deer, have been made from reclaimed metal and stand at the entrance to the hotel. The largest meeting and events room seats 180 people theatre-style.

Christ Church's Great Hall
Christ Church College in Oxford's Great Hall repoened for events in July last year. The iconic building, which was built in 1525 by Cardinal Wolsey, Henry VIII’s Chancellor, was the inspiration for the Hogwarts’ dining room in the Harry Potter films. The college has also completed extensive developments to the Lodge and Undercroft (cellar bar), which can be utilised for events. The Undercroft Bar can accommodate up to 100 people.
