Locations
There are a number of properties and locations which are controlled by Warwickshire County Council which could be just the backdrop you were looking for:
Old Shire Hall & Courts & Dungeon
Located in the heart of Warwick, The Old Shire Hall is a magnificent Grade I listed building offering flexible event spaces in an authentic historic setting. The impressive Great Hall is a versatile space complete with a beautiful full height ceiling. Perfect for conferences and team building by day, and exceptional award ceremonies and gala dinners by night. The rooms located within our Judges’ House are a perfect setting for board meetings and exquisite fine dining experiences.
The historical significance of The Great Hall, combined with its size and scale, makes this a unique space in which to hold your conference, product launch or awards ceremony. The compartmental ceiling and period chandeliers add to the character of the hall, along with its impressive entrance through the Judges’ House. The Great Hall can be used on its own or hired alongside the two original courtrooms, which make great breakout spaces.
Leading directly off The Great Hall are two octagonal courtrooms. Complete with beautiful high domed ceilings and original features they make an ideal location for breakout spaces, debating and drinks receptions. A flight of stone steps leads to the atmospheric 17th century dungeon, which dates back to the original county gaol, as well as the more recent holding cells. Perfect for themed events and tours
