Wolfson Hall
Wolfson Hall, our main space, is a versatile blank canvas with a capacity of 180. It’s the ultimate backdrop for medium-sized conferences, impactful seminars, high-profile corporate events, and charity dinners. Equipped with high-tech AV systems, including a large built-in projector, professional lighting, and a modular stage, this space offers the ideal setting to elevate various professional gatherings. The main hall also provides an elegant venue for weddings and other special occasions, where guests can enjoy a formal lunch or dinner following a welcome drinks reception in The Atrium.
The Atrium
The Atrium is an impressive, light-filled space with a retractable glass roof, creating a bright and uplifting experience. By day, it’s inviting and airy, with natural light enhancing the ambience. By night, the space takes on a more intimate, refined feel, making it just as suited for elegant evening events as it is for daytime gatherings. With its unique design, this adaptable area is ideal for professional and social gatherings, perfect for drinks receptions, networking events, and breakout sessions.
The Atrium is also well-suited for wedding receptions, providing the obvious choice for pre-dinner drinks before moving to Wolfson Hall for the main celebration. As for conferences, the Atrium often serves as a vibrant hub for breakfast and lunch, providing a refreshing space for attendees to mingle and recharge.
Conference Rooms
Designed for productivity, The Central’s three conference rooms can be used individually or seamlessly combined to create a larger space. Equipped with modern AV equipment, including built-in and portable television screens, they offer the flexibility required for focused business meetings, seminars, and high-level discussions. These rooms provide a professional, discreet environment for private conversations and breakout sessions during conferences held in Wolfson Hall.
Combined Spaces
The Central’s strength lies in its adaptability and our combined spaces deliver on every level. By integrating the conference rooms with The Atrium, we create a fluid and engaging environment for larger events requiring both presentation areas and networking spaces. This combined setup ensures every aspect of your event is covered, making it ideal for multi-day conferences, product launches, and sophisticated social gatherings. When our combined spaces are used in conjunction with Wolfson Hall, you have a venue that handles it all - offering dedicated areas for breakout sessions, keynotes, and dining, tailored precisely to your needs.

"Warmest thanks to The Central for making available for use by the IFN Faith Communities Forum such a wonderful meeting and lunch space on special terms, and to you and your colleagues for such helpful assistance on arrangements. It was clear that participants very much appreciated being there."
"We once again wanted to say a special thank you to you and all your team for all that you did for us yesterday. All the small touches were certainly acknowledged and noticed by many. You and Dan were really amazing.
We received many lovely comments about the venue too and have passed on details to those that asked about the hiring of the place.
A personal thanks from Niravta and myself and on behalf of Art of Living UK - thank you"
