Bridewell Hall at St Bride Foundation
About this space
The largest of our spaces - the Bridewell Hall is an elegant space with high-ceilings and large original windows, lending itself just as easily to conferences, lectures and AGMs as to lavish parties, formal dinners and wedding receptions.
The Farringdon Room neighbours Bridewell Hall and is often hired in conjunction, serving as a perfect breakout space, registration and catering space or dance floor for receptions. For events over 100 guests, we do recommend that you book this adjoining room for your comfort and ease.
