About this space

Weddings offer:

THE LIBRARY
Conway Hall is the oldest surviving freethought organisation in the world and our library holds the largest and most comprehensive humanist research resource in the UK.
Surrounded by books and historic features, you will find this a truly inspiring and peaceful space to exchange your vows.
The Library is beautifully decorated with portraits from the Ethical Society’s rich history, as well as having floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Red Lion Square, that fill the space with warm, natural light.

MAIN HALL
The impressive period hall with original wood paneling is the perfect location for your wedding reception.
If you are planning to include live music in your celebrations then you will be pleased to know that the main hall is internationally renowned for its excellent acoustics.
The space is also famous for hosting the longest run of classical concerts in the UK, jazz concerts from the 1930s to the 1960s, and has also hosted countless famous speakers, such as George Orwell, and historic events, including the conference
of doctors that led to the founding of the NHS

We’ve named our wedding packages after some of the interesting characters associated with Conway Hall:
ROSE BUSH
An Ethical Society member for over 50 years and co-founder of the Humanist Housing Association.
MUDDY WATERS
The legendary American Blues guitarist, who played at Conway Hall in 1958 during his UK tour.
ELIZA FLOWER
Radical female composer who worked at South Place Chapel, the Ethical Society’s precursor to Conway Hall.
