Victorian banqueting hall for large-scale formal events

The Great Hall is the estate's largest and most prestigious event space, opened by Queen Victoria in 1845. The room combines stained glass, a striking fresco by G.F. Watts, oak ceilings, and a Minstrels' Gallery with large-scale operational capability for conferences, gala dinners, and receptions. By day the Great Hall operates as a dining hall for barrister members of the Inn. The adjacent East Terrace is included with hire and regularly used for arrival drinks and summer entertaining.
