St Andrew's & Blackfriars Halls comprise two magnificent medieval buildings in the heart of Norwich, originally built as part of a Dominican friary in the 13th-15th centuries. St Andrew's Hall, the larger of the two venues, features stunning Gothic architecture with soaring stone arches and stained glass windows, accommodating up to 340 guests. Blackfriars Hall offers a more intimate setting with exposed medieval stonework and wooden beams. Both venues provide unique atmospheric settings for conferences, weddings, corporate events, concerts and cultural activities. Located on St Andrew's Plain, the venue is easily accessible from Norwich city centre and benefits from nearby parking facilities. The halls combine historic grandeur with modern event facilities including professional lighting and sound systems.
