The Britannia Suite
The Britannia Suite is our largest training room. It holds 750 in classroom configuration and 1,400 in theatre style. The column-free floor on the ground floor gives your training team a flexible space with no awkward layouts to work around.
Natural daylight keeps the room feeling fresh throughout the day. Full blackout is available for presentations and video content. Drive-in access from the car park makes it easy to bring in equipment, materials and production kit ahead of the day.
For large department training days, company-wide induction programmes and national training events, the Britannia Suite is the right size with the right facilities.
The Imperial Suite
The Imperial Suite holds 700 in classroom configuration and 1,300 in theatre style.
For senior leadership programmes, board-level away days and high-profile training events for professional associations, the Imperial Suite is a great choice. The adjoining Trafalgar and Waterloo suites work well as breakout spaces for smaller group sessions running alongside the main training session.
The Premier Suite
The Premier Suite is a column-free ground floor room with 367 m² of space and natural daylight. It holds up to 250 in classroom configuration and 400 in theatre style. It is a practical, well-lit room that works well for mid-sized training groups, skills workshops and interactive sessions that need flexible furniture layouts.
It sits next to the Britannia Suite, which makes it a good option for large training events that need a main room and a separate breakout or workshop space running at the same time.
