Overlooking Clerkenwell Green, a thriving urban village where more creative brands and businesses reside per square mile than anywhere else in the world, Old Sessions House is right at home. You will be too, when choosing this reborn historic landmark for your event.

The Grade II* listed Georgian building was once England’s largest courthouse. Following a transformational redevelopment, it’s now the capital’s latest multi-purpose event space and a progressive new addition to our exclusive venue portfolio. Fusing our decades of experience in heritage venue hospitality with culinary innovation, the partnership is a collaboration in creative vision, quality service, contemporary luxury, and event design evolution.

Just around the corner from Farringdon Station, Old Sessions House occupies an island site, instantly drawing all eyes to its dramatic Palladian-style architecture. Inside you’ll find 18843 square feet of versatile space with unlimited potential for storytelling and creating exceptional experiences for your guests.

Stunning period features, like the restored glass atrium and soaring Roman Pantheon-style coffered dome, have been preserved and thoughtfully integrated with modern amenities and aesthetics. Aged stonework has been given new life with contemporary art and statement pieces, creating a dynamic environment, beautifully complemented by plants and florals.

Old Sessions House comprises eight distinctive spaces, each designed to accommodate different event types and scales. The Great Room (120 seated / 200 standing) is the primary event space, featuring soaring ceilings and views over Clerkenwell Green. The Courtroom Bar (60 standing) transforms the original courtroom into an elegant cocktail venue. For intimate gatherings, The Dining Room (36 seated / 60 standing), The Chairman’s Room (18 seated), and The Showroom (40 boardroom / 55 theatre / 60 standing) offer flexibility with modern business amenities.

The Billiards Room and Terrace (25 / 35 standing) provides a relaxed setting with a vintage billiards table and private terrace. The Rooftop (30 seated / 50 standing) unveils a Mediterranean-style oasis with panoramic London views, perfect for summer events. The Café (60 standing) adds warmth and style to any occasion. Whether you’re planning an intimate VIP gathering or commanding the entire venue exclusively for up to 450 guests, Old Sessions House adapts seamlessly to your needs.
