Kids Party · 100 guests
Loved that the venue was big and spacious and the reasonable price of £30/hour. The kitchen in the venue is fully equipped and has all that you may need for catering.
Nothing really, everything for the party was perfect.

Gig · 120 guests
We're a pop choir who booked the main hall for our autumn gig, and we had a great time. The room was a good size for our audience to sit around a mix of small and big tables, and the hall was really easy to decorate into the vibe that we wanted (Halloween/nightlife). The stage was nice and spacious for the choir, without feeling too intimidating, and it had good acoustics. Sound equipment and lighting were useful, and the bar staff were brilliant (as were the bar prices!). We also loved being able to pay for clean-up at the end, rather than having to do this ourselves. The admin staff were friendly and helpful with communication about our needs/the facilities in the run-up to the event, and afterwards too. Liaising was definitely more straightforward than we've experienced with some other venues in the past, and our deposit was repaid very promptly. The booking was very reasonably priced for a central London location and a decent capacity, and we do enjoy partnering with community groups like ourselves. Thanks for such a fun night!
The only thing that would stop us booking again is the lack of step-free access to both the main hall and the stage itself – understandable for a 60s building, just difficult when we like to be inclusive and accessible for our members and our audience. Otherwise, Magdalen Hall was a great find.
