About Founders' Hall

In the heart of the City of London, Founders' Hall is the home of the historic Founders' Company and is a warm, beautiful venue just a few minutes away from three tube stations – St Paul's, Barbican and Farringdon. When booking an event at Founders' Hall, you will have a choice of two rooms – the Livery Hall and the Parlour, both with their own distinct design.

For smaller events, choose the Parlour on the ground floor, a bright but creative area for standing receptions of 60 guests or banquets and meetings of up to 20. Set on the lower ground floor with porthole views of the Priory Garden, the Livery Hall is the largest of the two and comes equipped with a screen, projector and a handheld microphone. Decorated with modern features that hark back to the venue's past, this area can host up to 84 of your guests for a conference, or 75 for a sit-down dinner. If you're looking to maximise your space then you can combine the two event areas, and use the Parlour as your drinks reception area or catering room.

There are several packages on offer, and with Life's Kitchen at the helm, Founders' Hall provides excellent service and high-quality catering facilities that will ensure you and your guests have the most spectacular time. The day delegate package offers you venue hire from 9am until 5pm, an LCD projector, complimentary WiFi, an early morning coffee break with sweet and savoury treats, a mid-morning break with luxury biscuits, a networking lunch menu, an afternoon coffee break with homemade cake, event management, stationery and water. Some of the treats you can expect to find on the lunch menu include beef and horseradish mayo white rolls, crispy cod cheeks with classic tartare sauce, and a sweet potato, halloumi and rocket salad.
