The Event Space

The Bluecoat’s newly redeveloped Event Space is a flexible, multi-function space, equipped to host a variety of events and occasions. Located in the heart of the building overlooking the courtyard and garden, this spacious room is steeped in history and heritage, and boasts modern features and stunning natural light.

Historic charm meets modern comforts

The 2026 redevelopment added new technology and facilities to the space, whilst retaining its historic charm. With a flexible capacity of 60 - 200 guests for layouts and styles, it is truly a unique and adaptable space.
