Looking to hire RSA House for your next corporate event? Its flexible spaces can be hired separately or in conjunction with one another, to ensure your event flows seamlessly. Unique to RSA House is the Durham Street Auditorium. Located under a tunnel, it features exposed brickwork, arched ceilings and can seat up to 70 people, with theatre-style tiered seating suited to presentations or panel discussions. If you’re looking for a standout venue for your next private party, RSA House has plenty to offer. Its impressive Vaults room, a large subterranean area featuring exposed brickwork, multicoloured lights and interconnecting rooms, can hold up to 220 guests, for example. There are several packages to choose from too, which include exclusive hire of the space, an arrival drink, a bowl food menu, state-of-the-art surround sound and plenty more. Alternatively, the Great Room, with its high-domed glass ceiling, impressive paintings and built-in AV, can accommodate 200 for a standing drinks party or 120 guests for a seated meal. This is often hired in conjunction with the Benjamin Franklin Room, which serves as an ideal pre- or post-dinner reception space. Catering is provided in-house by CH&CO, who work to curate inspiring and sustainable menus, while the dedicated events team are on hand to assist with a trusted list of suppliers, for everything from entertainment to furniture. Take advantage of our Exclusive Summer and Christmas Offers available only until August! Don't miss out!
