The foyers continue the cool, creamy design of the impressive
Great Court and are constructed from limestone giving a clean,
sophisticated space in which to impress guests or delegates.
The foyers provide a welcome ‘blank canvas’ for clients wishing
to brand the space and to exhibit their company or products with
elegance and style. The large open space of the foyers are also
perfect as a venue for a seated dinner for up to 120 people or a
reception for up to 329. Each foyer has ample space for
registration and cloakroom facilities.
The East and West foyers are wheelchair accessible
