Hire the Cellars
Take your event underground in our exciting subterranean space
Opened up for the first time in 100 years, our revamped Victorian cellars provide a quirky and characterful space for more intimate events and gatherings.
This self-contained, subterranean space has its own dedicated entrance from the plaza, as well as access to the main foyer and other event spaces in the building.
As well as being a great location for a cosy club night or party, the cellars also have a suite of practice rooms, social space and a recording studio, making them perfect for smaller corporate events, training and educational activities.
