If you’re looking for a party venue that oozes history, style and just the right amount of grandeur, Gray’s Inn ticks every box. Hidden away in Central London, just a stone’s throw from Chancery Lane, this centuries-old Inn of Court might be steeped in legal tradition - but it also knows how to throw a great party.
With eight beautiful event spaces, Gray’s Inn can play host to everything from private dinners and milestone birthdays to office parties, receptions and awards dos. Whether you're gathering your team for a corporate celebration or planning something more personal, like an engagement party or a celebration of life, the venue offers a flexible backdrop for events of all shapes and sizes.
At the heart of it all is The Hall - a striking, historic space with soaring ceilings, centuries-old stained glass, and a storybook-style screen said to be built from the timbers of a captured Spanish Armada ship. For something more intimate, there’s the elegant Benchers’ Library or the wood-panelled charm of the Bingham Room. Whatever your guest list, Gray’s Inn has a space to suit.
From January 2025, catering will be provided by the legendary Searcys, whose menus celebrate seasonal British produce with a creative twist. Whether it’s burrata and heritage tomatoes to start, or a showstopping chocolate fondant to finish, you can expect refined, flavour-packed dishes and service that’s effortlessly polished. Their expert team can help you design a menu to suit your occasion - from relaxed receptions to formal private dining.
With its tucked-away gardens, centuries of fascinating history and a guestlist that once included Queen Elizabeth I, Shakespeare and Winston Churchill, Gray’s Inn brings something truly special to the party. And with the modern-day event planning expertise to match, it’s as practical as it is impressive. So, if you’re planning a celebration and want to wow your guests with a venue that blends history, elegance and some very fine food, Gray’s Inn is ready to roll out the red carpet.
