About Our Spaces

Foyer

Arriving through the newly redeveloped entrance of the Potter Museum of Art, guests are welcomed by the striking architectural brilliance of Wood Marsh Architects. Bold concrete columns and dramatic black volumes create a sophisticated contrast against crisp white walls and polished floors. This contemporary space sets the scene for celebrations that demand something extraordinary.

Suitable for groups up to 110.

Primrose Potter Studio

Located within the Potter Museum of Art, the Primrose Potter Studio blurs the lines of heritage and contemporary design. Soaring white ceilings, polished timber floorboards, large arched windows fill the room with natural light by day or the glistening oak trees by evening. The Primrose Potter studio is perfect for seated dinners, cocktail receptions, meetings, and celebrations of any kind.

Suitable for groups up to 100 guests. Open for events in 2026.

Peter Jopling Studio

The Peter Jopling Studio shares the same elegant timber floors and white walls as its neighbouring Primrose Potter Studio, but on a more intimate scale. Flooded with natural light and featuring the same refined architectural details, this space is ideal for small meetings, intimate dinners, or as a breakout room for larger conferences. Perfect when you need somewhere special but personal.

Suitable for groups up to 50 guests. Open for events in 2026.
