VENUE HIRE

Whether for business or for pleasure, Dorset County Museum is a unique and unforgettable venue at which to hold an event.

Conferences, lectures, corporate meetings, sales events and client receptions have all been hosted in the gothic splendour of the Museum’s Victorian Hall. Surrounded by an eclectic array of historic objects, from Roman sarcophagi and frescoes to fine Georgian oil paintings and furniture, your guests can peruse their surroundings in an atmosphere of culture and refinement.

Whatever the occasion your guests will be sure to appreciate the beauty of their surroundings –  Our professional staff will assist and advise you on every aspect and detail to ensure that your event has the greatest possible success.

With its arches of fine cast ironwork inspired by the Great Exhibition of 1851, and a beautiful rose window crowning the gallery's north transept, the Victorian Hall makes a unique venue for a very special evening.
