About this space
The Prince Consort Rooms is the HAC’s largest and most versatile space. With a dedicated entrance through a pretty courtyard, an adjoining outdoor Terrace and a separate registration area. The space itself has an impressive vaulted ceiling, painted brick walls and a polished, solid wooden floor.
The Prince Consort Rooms are an exceptionally sleek and stylish venue that incorporates elements of the HAC's history. Perfect for conferences, annual general meetings, awards ceremonies and more. The vaulted ceilings, hardwood flooring and the abundance of natural light coming from the skylights give the Prince Consort Rooms plenty of character while still remaining a blank canvas for your corporate event.

About The HAC
The HAC is quite unlike any other City venue; a magnificent Georgian house set in a five-acre garden hidden away in a quiet location just a couple of minutes walk from Moorgate.
Inside this unique, historic London venue offers a wide variety of event spaces for everything from conferences, meetings and awards dinners to summer and Christmas parties and of course wedding ceremonies and receptions. From small meeting rooms for 10 people through to the Prince Consort Rooms which seats up to 400 guests, the HAC is able to offer the perfect setting for every type of event.
Outside the stunning five acres, Artillery Garden provides the ideal backdrop for all these events as well as being available to hire for sports such as cricket, rugby, softball, and football as well as company fun days, team building and barbecues.
