Bishopsgate Institute is always honoured to host private events, occasions and celebrations. Your Event Planner is on hand from your first enquiry to the event day.

Choose from three private event spaces. The Great Hall provides the perfect backdrop for dinners and dancing and features a stage, full lighting rig and in-house AV support. Upper Hall is our choice for parties and galas. 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 sustainability sourced and creatively served.

#FROMTHE ARCHIVES

Bernie Grant was Member of Parliament for Tottenham (1987-2000) and tireless campaigner for social justice, as well as the leading figure in a number of organisations, including Labour Party Black Sections, the Black Trade Unionists’ Solidarity Movement and the African Reparations Movement. His archive includes papers, artefacts, recordings and other material documenting these organisations and the whole of his career, and is an invaluable resource for the study of late twentieth century British history.
