Ocean Room and Colonnade

Entrance to the Ocean Room with glass doors and brick walls, reflecting trees and sky from the outdoor surroundings.

Our Ocean Room is full of natural light and is located in the historic Warehouse; it has Victorian industrial features such as the sliding doors.

The space comes fully equipped with projectors, screens and an inbuilt PA system. Easily accessible on the ground floor of the museum, the Ocean Room overlooks the picturesque Marina with an entrance via the Colonnade.

Ideally suited for conferences, meetings and team days, the Ocean Room is a versatile space and works well in a variety of set-ups. Capacities range from 80 in cabaret to 150 in theatre style. Further technical equipment and support are available, from staging, lecterns and microphones to technical staffing and hybrid conferencing.

The Colonnade is a long glass walled walkway and venue that links the Ocean Room, the Weston Hall and the Museum Garden with glass double doors. It has a public entrance that leads out onto Marina Square. It is best suited as a conference exhibitions space, to host catering for Ocean Room hires or even as a drinks reception space. It has a maximum capacity of 200 standing.

Exclusive venue hire pricing starts from £1,000 + VAT depending on requirements. Options for smaller events available. Catering packages sold separately. Get in touch with our dedicated team to receive a quote for your event needs.
