Plaisterers' Hall in the City of London can host corporate dinners, conferences, receptions and weddings, from a 16-person meeting to a standing reception of 550. The hall describes itself as the largest livery hall in the City, a few minutes on foot from St Paul's, Bank and Moorgate.
Seminars and company events
The hall is used for awards dinners, networking receptions, conferences and product launches. Its rooms sit next to each other, so guests can move from a plenary session to a drinks reception without leaving the building. The site also mentions natural light and an outside terrace, which organisers often use for breaks and arrivals.
For a seminar, the Great Hall seats 100 to 400 in theatre style, and the Livery Hall takes 40 to 100. Two small rooms, the Humber Room and the Mott Room, work for boardroom meetings and breakout groups of 16 to 20 people.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings are held in the same rooms. A couple can combine the Great Hall for dinner and dancing with the Livery Hall for a ceremony or drinks. The hall also lists birthdays, anniversaries and bar mitzvahs under private hire, with a late license and the option to choose your own suppliers. Wedding packages are available as a PDF on the official site.
Rooms and capacities
The Great Hall is the main space: 100 to 330 seated for dinner, 200 to 500 for a standing reception, 200 in cabaret layout and 100 to 400 in theatre layout. The Livery Hall seats 70 for dinner, takes 150 to 220 standing, 48 in cabaret and 40 to 100 in theatre style. The Humber Room holds 16 for a boardroom, reception or dinner, and 20 in theatre style. The Mott Room holds 20 for a boardroom, reception or dinner.
Across the whole venue, the hall quotes up to 330 seated diners or 550 standing guests.
Catering
Food is prepared by the hall's exclusive caterers, who produce bespoke menus for each event. The hall presents this as an award-winning team. For private hire, the site says clients can choose their own suppliers, so ask which route applies to your event before you compare quotes.
History and setting
Plaisterers' Hall belongs to a livery company, one of the City's historic trade guilds, and is described as the largest livery hall in the City of London. It stands between the City and the West End, close to St Paul's Cathedral, which makes it easy for guests arriving from offices in either direction.
Getting there
The hall is a short walk from St Paul's, Bank and Moorgate stations, all on the Underground. Guests arriving from the City or the West End can reach it on foot or by a short ride. Contact the events team for a floor plan and a site visit.
