This attractive building was opened in 1918 and is dedicated to the exhibition of Art with a reception area and Gallery. Major restoration work was undertaken in 2013. The interior was stripped to reveal the original oak panels which were cleaned and lightened. The display area was redesigned on the ground floor and the gallery upstairs was opened up to provide further exhibition space. It is now one of the most attractive galleries in East Anglia. The space is adaptable and suitable for activities such as poetry readings, plays and small concerts as well as exhibitions. The Gallery has also been used for informal receptions & celebrations.
The Chapel of St Anthony, consecrated in 1923, was built as a memorial to the Schools fallen of the First World War. It contains some of the most important and influential stained glass in the country. The School Chapel is also home to the renowned Frobenius pipe organ. The Chapel offers a contemplative and inspirational venue for music, and is available to past pupils and staff for weddings and christenings.
Clients are free to make all their own arrangements for their special event, or the School Enterprises team are happy to recommend local suppliers who are experts in their fields.
