SPEECH ROOM

Harrow School’s impressive main assembly room

Speech Room

Built in 1871, Speech Room is the main assembly room for Harrow School. This grand building will add drama to any style of event. With its horseshoe-shaped seating, it can accommodate 550 guests – a suitable capacity for a conference or live performance.

The upper tiers of seating are fixed, and the chairs cannot be moved, but there is the option to lay a steel deck stage to enlarge the floor area, allowing weddings and large standing events to benefit from this show-stopping setting.

Highlights

  • Iconic high ceilings
  • Flexible layout for multiple formats
  • Suitable for flagship corporate and cultural events

Key Information

FLAT FLOOR OPTION

Speech Room offers a stage solution for the central orchestra pit at the heart of the venue. This stage creates a flat surface suitable for seated dinners of up to 120 guests. The stage does not affect the theatre-style seating capacity of 550. Installation of the stage is not included in Speech Room hire fees. Please speak to a member of the events team for a quotation.
