Seminars and company events
The Chapter Hall is an events space above Refectory LDS, Northern Monk's brewery taproom in Holbeck, Leeds. It takes groups of up to 200 people and is offered for meetings, away days and conferences. The room is a blank space, so the layout is set around each event. Bookings are requested through the Northern Monk website.
The room has a PA system, a pair of microphones and a ceiling-mounted projector, which covers presentations, talks and screenings without bringing in equipment. Teams that want a day away from the office can combine a session in the hall with food and drink from the taproom below.
Weddings and private events
The official site says the hall has hosted weddings and private functions, as well as fashion shows, film screenings and photography conferences. This shows the range of formats the empty room handles, from a seated reception to a standing event. The site does not list wedding packages or a seated capacity for dinners, so confirm the figure for your layout with the team. A viewing can be requested through the form on the venue page, or by writing to the bookings address given there.
Rooms and capacities
The Chapter Hall is one room, with a stated limit of 200 attendees. It sits in the Old Flax Store, part of the Marshall's Mill complex, a Grade II listed industrial mill from the early 19th century. The building is listed, and the official site notes that there is no lift, which organisers should plan for when guests have reduced mobility.
Catering
Several catering routes are offered. You can take a fully stocked and staffed bar, teas and coffees, or room hire only. The resident kitchen can cater an event, and outside caterers are welcome. The venue provides them with a power supply and adjacent space to set up.
History and setting
The hall is in a former flax mill in the Holbeck district, on the site of the first brewing operation of Northern Monk. The industrial setting, with the building's period character, gives the room a very different feel from a hotel conference suite.
Getting there
The address is Northern Monk Refectory and Garden LDS, Marshalls Mill, Marshall Street, Holbeck, Leeds LS11 9YJ. The venue describes the location as a few minutes from the city center with good public transport links, and gives a walk of about ten minutes from Leeds Station.
