Our Function Rooms
The Great Hall
The Great Hall, on the third level, is a magnificent room featuring a richly decorated coffered ceiling. Corinthian pilasters and balustrade balcony allow an unencumbered view of the stage from everywhere in the room. However, the flexibility of seating and staging allows clients to host a wide range of events. The Great Hall is considered an acoustic masterpiece, perfectly suited to music performance and recording.
