Our adaptable spaces can be used for:

• Canapé receptions 
• Parties 
• Private dinners 
• Marriage and civil partnership ceremonies 
• Wedding receptions 
• Filming and photo shoots 
• Conferences 
• Product launches 
• Presentations 
• Away-days 
• Meetings 
• Film screenings

 

 

 

CLORE STUDIO

Designed by 6a architects, the Clore Studio forms part of the gallery’s recent expansion which received a New London Architecture Award in 2011. Situated behind the main gallery building at the far end of the Fox Garden, the space is a contemporary and stylish setting for both daytime and evening events.

The Clore Studio is illuminated from above by a skylight and has fully pivoting doors which open out onto the gallery’s spacious rear garden. The space can also be blacked out for film screenings, talks and presentations. 

With capacity for 60 seated or 90 standing, the Clore Studio is the perfect setting for a training course, away day, product and media launch, photo shoot, dinner party, drinks reception, or wedding and civil partnership ceremony and celebration.

 

MAIN GALLERY

The main gallery is an impressive, high ceilinged Victorian hall which has been the SLG’s primary exhibition space since it opened to the public in 1891. This magnificent room benefits from an original skylight and opens out onto the gallery's large rear garden. With capacity for 150 seated and 200 standing, the main gallery is an ideal space for a wedding or civil partnership ceremony, reception, photo shoot, fully catered dinner or large-scale party.

The main gallery is only available to hire between exhibitions and thus on very occasional days and evenings throughout the year.

 

DOUBLE HEIGHT ROOM

Situated on the ground floor of the SLG's extention, the double height room overlooks the beautiful Fox Garden. This light and airy contemporary space was opened in June 2010 and it is adorned with artist Paul Morrison’s striking gold leaf wall drawing, Asplenium. The room has a long antique oak table which seats 18, ideal for meetings and dining.

The double height room is available for hire when the café is closed to the public: Sunday to Tuesday evenings and all day Mondays.
