Can I have live music or a DJ at my evening event?
Live music is permitted at all of our venues for evening functions. A DJ/disco can be organised for events at the Hospitium only. Please speak to our Sales Team to discuss your requirements in greater detail.
Can I hire the Museum Gardens?
The Museum Gardens can be used for functions, but each application for use has to be considered individually, as the Gardens themselves are a Scheduled Ancient Monument.
Who organises the catering at your venues?

Yes, with the prior agreement of the Sales Team and subject to venue availability.
