About Auditorium
125 Standing / Reception
100 Seated
Our Auditorium opens directly onto the River Calder through floor-to-ceiling windows, creating an ever-changing backdrop as narrowboats and wildlife pass by throughout your event. This ground floor space at The Hepworth Wakefield combines Sir David Chipperfield's architectural vision with practical functionality, offering 100 seats in theatre style or 90 for dining arrangements. Natural light transforms the room throughout the day, shifting from bright morning clarity perfect for conferences to the softer tones that complement evening celebrations. We've installed a large screen with integrated projector and full audio-visual setup, including an induction loop system and free-standing lectern, making presentations and speeches effortless. The acoustics work beautifully whether you're hosting a product launch, corporate gathering, or private celebration. Round tables and comfortable seating allow us to configure the space to match your event style. The riverside setting adds something special, particularly when guests step outside during breaks to watch the water flow past. Being surrounded by modern British art in our ten gallery spaces means your attendees can explore between sessions or incorporate private tours into their experience. We regularly host everything from corporate conferences and gala dinners to wedding receptions and milestone celebrations here. The combination of contemporary architecture, riverside views and gallery setting creates an atmosphere you won't find elsewhere. Our licensed bar and kitchen team work with local suppliers to create seasonal menus that complement your event, whether that's canapés for a drinks reception or a formal three-course dinner. The Auditorium's ground floor location ensures easy access for all guests, with capacity for up to 125 for standing receptions. Every event benefits from the unique character of this architectural space where art, nature and celebration come together.
