If you are looking for a special venue to host a private celebration, take a look at BAFS Pavilion, a light, spacious and comfortable space perfect for a family gathering. Event catering can be arranged with our in-house team during term time, or if preferred external professional caterers can be accommodated on site.
BAFS (as it is known) offers a relaxed atmosphere, direct views to our beautiful cricket grounds with plenty of parking opposite and the opportunity to take drinks on the balcony and barbeque in the sunshine.
For a more formal gathering, meeting or workshop, our Old Hall and Bowes Room give a glimpse back in time. With traditional oak floors, high windows and panelled walls, the rooms are steeped in School history. Conveniently located in the centre of the town, both spaces offer flexible room configuration from boardroom style to cabaret. A small kitchen provides essential facilities with in-house catering available upon request.
For a more modern, ‘state of the art’ sense of occasion, the Mehra Science Faculty, New Social Sciences Building and Wilson Auditorium with it’s tiered seating offer a wide range of options, exhibition space and reception foyers.
For creative workshops and exhibitions, our dedicated Richard Bull Centre is a living space, with The Wheelhouse Gallery providing a dedicated converted barn to showcase, share and inspire your audience.
