It is not widely known but conference organisers can book meeting space for events at Winchester Cathedral. There are three event spaces in the main historic cathedral with a choice of areas for a marquee event in the beautiful grounds.

Internally the Paul Woodhouse Suite is a blend of traditional and contemporary architecture featuring a vaulted ceiling, wooden flooring and glassed walls. It will accommodate up to 25 delegates for a meeting extending to 200 guests in the evening using the adjacent refectory and terrace.

The Prior's Hall and Chapter Room feature five tall gothic windows overlooking the Cathedral’s inner close. Prior's Hall will accommodate up to 80 delegates for a theatre style meeting with the Chapter Room as break-out space.

The Undercroft was once part of the medieval monastery’s cloisters. It features a 13th-century vaulted ceiling and pillars, polished wooden floors and a stone fireplace. It will seat 16 delegates for a boardroom style meeting.

Refreshments are available throughout the day in the Cathedral refectory.

Winchester Cathedral lies in the centre of the historic city of Winchester. There is a regular mainline train service to London Waterloo. There is good access to the M3 (junctions 9, 10 and 11). No parking is allowed within Cathedral Close although city-centre multi-storey parking is a short walk away.
