It retains much of its original character. Some of our lecture and boardrooms, such as the Terrace Room, Portrait Room, Adam Room and Panelled Room are located in the main house.

The largest hall is the Montefiore Hall, which has a seating capacity of 350. The Portrait Room, a beautifully panelled room with chandeliers, can seat up to 160. Another addition is our new Jebb Auditorium, which can seat 100.

All are equipped with their own PA systems. The main boardrooms can seat between 25 and 40; they are the Terrace Room, Adam Room and the Panelled Room. There are a variety of lecture and seminar rooms varying in size, which can accommodate groups from 10 to 90. Also available is the fully equipped Michaelis Dance Theatre and Studio.
