The South Writing School

At the top of the central ornate marble staircase the South School is the prime Conference Hall on site and can seat up to 450 in Theatre style.

The room is 'T' shaped and can be used in various layouts to complement both the style of presentation and the capacity required and is suited to the use of rear-projection techniques.

The highly decorated plasterwork ceiling, oak panelling, and leaded windows give the room a luxurious, spacious ambience with views over the lawned quadrangle, which is often used as a location for refreshments on nice summer days.
