The Museum, which dates back to the 1830s, is home to countless archaeological treasures, and the beautiful botanical gardens house the striking ruins of St Mary’s Abbey.

The Tempest Anderson Hall, an auditorium seating up to 300, is situated within the Museum, and The Hospitium, our two-storey 14th century building, is situated a couple of minutes’ walk away in the gardens.

Many conference clients choose to hire both venues, often using the Tempest Anderson Hall for their main conference presentations and the Hospitium for workshops and/or lunch.

We have a variety of delegate packages available, which include refreshments and AV equipment and which can all be tailored to suit your requirements.
