Hospitality at the heart of the Centre
The Cinema is right next to the Café and The Great Hall, which can be booked for pre- and post-event receptions.
The light-soaked Great Hall is a striking setting holding up to 500 standing guests, while the south-facing Café welcomes guests into a relaxed venue with an intimate terrace. Both can be hired independently or to offer flexible hospitality alongside Cinema bookings.
