Great Octagon

Octagonal in shape and housing four original marble fireplaces and eighteenth century portraits, this room began life as a card room where parties gathered at tables to play Whist and other games of chance. At the centre of this sunny yellow room is a particularly spectacular Whitefriars crystal chandelier, the largest in the building.

The Great Octagon adjoins the large Ball Room, Tea Room and Card Room, the latter providing access to a small garden. Today the Great Octagon is most frequently used for drinks receptions and ceremonies or for conference exhibitors, registration and refreshments.
