County Hall Bookings - Accommodation and Charges

County Hall offers a number of rooms for hire for meetings or functions.  The most prestigious is the Council Chamber, a fine room seating up to 178 people.  

County Hall is an impressive and interesting building, set in sweeping grounds with a woodland backdrop.

If required, the Council can arrange the catering for meetings or functions and can also arrange for a license for the sale of alcoholic drinks and entertainment at a small cost

As well as having extensive car parks, County Hall is close to motorway links and the city centre yet, for more social occasions, enjoys a rural location with attractive landscaped grounds and lake features, ideal for photographs.
