Private Hire
Bishopsgate Institute is always honoured to host private events, occasions and celebrations. Your Event Planner is there to support you from your first enquiry, ensuring the smooth running of your event.
Choose from three private event spaces in our Grade II* listed building. The Great Hall provides the perfect backdrop for dinners and dancing and features a stage, full lighting rig and sound system, and in-house AV support. The Upper Hall is a blank canvas, the perfect backdrop to your unique event. For more intimate gatherings, The Library is full of character and is a standout example of Bishopsgate Institute’s architectural influences.
Our trusted caterers offer a variety of seasonal dining options, all of which are sustainably sourced and creatively served.
Staying safe
We are following all government guidance with regards to gatherings. While we want to help make your event as successful as possible, we also need to prioritise the safety of everyone in the building. We require all our hirers and guests to follow our safety protocols. Please do talk to us if you’d like to learn more.
