The peace and beauty of oak-paneling combine with a weight of history to form the stately Hoare Memorial Hall.
With a small stage at one end and an intimate private balcony, the hall is often used as a sister hall to the Assembly Hall, but has a role in its own right hosting conferences, seminars and receptions.
The room has a significant history, hosting the House of Commons during 1940 - 1945.
