The Assembly House is a Georgian building on Theatre Street in the centre of Norwich, designed by Thomas Ivory and opened in 1755 as a venue for assemblies and balls. It is now an independent hotel, restaurant and events venue, and it describes itself as Norwich’s largest indoor venue, hosting conferences, congresses, meetings, whole-house takeovers and staff celebrations. The Richard Hughes Cookery School on site runs team-building days.
Event spaces
The Noverre Ballroom is one of the largest function rooms in the city, with its own entrance, staging, a licensed bar and a walled garden through French doors. It is used for conferences, product launches, dinner dances and live performances. The Music Room has chandeliers, a minstrels’ gallery, balconies, a stage and a Steinway grand piano, and also hosts conferences. There are further function rooms including the Hobart Room and the Grand Hall. Full and half-day delegate rates are available, the main rooms have wheelchair access, and a lift serves the upstairs event rooms. The venue does not publish room capacities on its site.
Accommodation
There are 15 individually designed bedrooms, and a 40-space pay and display car park behind the building.
