Event spaces

The venue lists these spaces. Capacities are the venue’s own figures and change with the layout you choose.

• The Rooftop (7th floor, 3,600 sq ft): up to 130 indoors, 200 with outdoor patio and Tower
• Lincoln Hall (3,000 sq ft): 140 seated
• Lincoln Terrace (covered, heated): 90 standing
• Lincoln Hall + Terrace: up to 250
• The Tower (private dining, 440 sq ft): up to 20 seated
• The Bistro + Bar (semi-private, from 5pm): 45 seated, 80 reception

Capacity

The venue publishes a maximum of 140 seated, 250 standing reception. Those are top figures for an empty room. A dance floor, a stage, a buffet or a photo booth each take space, so plan on fewer guests than the maximum once your layout is drawn.

A useful rule: a seated dinner at rounds of ten needs about 1 to 1.2 square metres per guest, a standing reception about 0.7, and theatre seating about 0.6, before you add a stage or dance floor. The venue capacity calculator does the arithmetic for your room.

Events it hosts

According to its own event pages, the venue hosts corporate events, weddings and private social events.
