About Great Hall
300 Banquet
1000 Standing / Reception
Walking past the striking railway viaduct mural that spans our Great Hall walls, you'll find yourself in one of Yorkshire's most distinctive meeting spaces. This versatile room transforms from intimate workshops to major corporate gatherings, accommodating up to 300 for banquet-style seating or 1,000 guests for standing receptions. The space strikes a balance between professional functionality and the character of our railway heritage. Modern projection screens and AV equipment support presentations and conferences, while the thoughtfully designed lighting system creates the right atmosphere whether you're hosting morning seminars or evening networking events. The neutral palette and contemporary furnishings provide a polished backdrop that adapts to your branding and event requirements. Our team regularly configures the Great Hall for diverse occasions. Corporate clients appreciate the flexibility for product launches and award ceremonies, while the spacious layout works equally well for large-scale training sessions and industry conferences. The carpeted floors and comfortable seating ensure delegates remain focused during day-long events, and the room's acoustic design supports clear communication even at full capacity. Being just a short walk from York railway station makes logistics straightforward for attendees arriving from London, Edinburgh, or Manchester. Our events team coordinates everything from initial room layouts to technical requirements, drawing on years of experience hosting national conferences and regional meetings. The Great Hall's connection to the museum adds an unexpected dimension to breaks and networking time. Delegates often explore our world-famous collection between sessions, returning to discussions energised by encounters with engineering marvels like Mallard or the Japanese Bullet Train. This unique setting consistently generates conversation and creates memorable experiences that distinguish your event from standard hotel conference rooms.
