Facilities include the Atrium, an impressive modern space for evening events; a custom-designed Lecture Theatre offering flexible seating configurations and recently upgraded AV equipment; a highly-appointed traditional Board Room overlooking the gardens of the Castle; and the Roof Garden, a tranquil oasis ideally suited for a pre-dinner drinks reception. Private tours of the galleries can also be arranged for evening events. Catering is provided by the award-winning Silk Road Café.Admission FREE.
