Event Booking Enquiry Form

The Edward Boyle Auditorium

The Edward Boyle auditorium seats 168 people and its raised stage provides all audience members with an excellent view. It offers a first-class acoustic, ideal for chamber music but also for the spoken voice. We can host classical, jazz, folk and other types of concerts. The auditorium is a very versatile space with fully adjustable seating and acoustics, enabling it to function successfully as a venue for concerts, recordings, lectures, conferences, and dramatic productions.  The low level of background noise, the Steinway D piano, and a wall box connection to the recording studio make it an ideal space for musical performance and recordings, while the built-in PA system and data projector also make the auditorium well-suited to hosting conferences. Please complete an Event Booking Enquiry if you'd like to host an event here.

Please contact us for auditorium specifications and more details.
