About this space

Named after a prominent figure in the French resistance who helped Scottish allies in her village during WWI, the Emilienne Moreau-Evrard room is our main auditorium and the grandest room in the building, with a beautifully decorated high ceiling and dark wood panels.

Originally a ballroom, it can now be used for a wide range of occasions. With a retractable seating bank of up to 74 seats, it is perfect for both seated or standing events. It is located on the first floor, opens onto the grand foyer and is interconnecting with the Salle Duchesse d’Angouleme, offering a range of space combinations.

Beautiful place, flexible, central, very reasonable, no catering but therefore also no corkage or charge for bringing your own. Very friendly and helpful with a complicated booking. Would be my first place to try for anything in future.
Only marked down amenities as upstairs ladies loo was out of order on the night - but this is beautiful space that I can't recommend enough
