About Elphinstone Hall
250 Banquet
400 Theatre
250 Standing / Reception
Our Elphinstone Hall occupies a special place in the University of Aberdeen's five-century history. When you host your conference here, you're working within Gothic revival architecture that has witnessed countless significant gatherings since our founding in 1495. The hall's soaring ceilings and intricate stonework create immediate impact as delegates enter. We've preserved the baronial grandeur while integrating the technology your presentations require. Our ceiling-mounted projector displays content clearly across the space, and our technical team remains available throughout your event to manage audiovisual requirements. For theatre-style presentations, we accommodate up to 400 attendees. The hall's acoustics carry speakers' voices naturally throughout the room, enhanced by our sound system when needed. During banquets and formal dinners, we arrange seating for 250 guests, with our kitchen staff providing full catering service. Reception formats work equally well here, allowing 250 guests to network comfortably while enjoying the architectural details. The expansive windows flood the space with natural light, reducing the need for artificial lighting during daytime sessions. These windows frame views across Old Aberdeen, reminding participants they're part of an academic tradition stretching back centuries. When evening events require different ambiance, our lighting systems adapt to create appropriate atmosphere. Our events team coordinates every detail, from initial room setup through post-event cleanup. We regularly host conferences, exhibitions, formal dinners, and professional development workshops in this space. The hall's versatility extends to cultural events and celebrations, each benefiting from the gravitas these historic walls provide. King's College campus sits in Old Aberdeen with straightforward access via public transport. The combination of our location, the hall's architectural distinction, and our experienced support staff creates conditions where important decisions get made and meaningful connections form.
