The Packing Room is a small multi-use venue. This light-filled space features raw industrial interiors, distressed walls, concrete flooring, and a dedicated wet area. The venue opens onto the Sacred Heart Courtyard and connects to the North Magdalen Laundry through an internal door, making it an excellent green room for events.
The venue features LED panel lights, and for this reason is an ideal space for traditional craftwork workshops, sewing, drawing, and typography. The Packing Room’s wet area features a large trough for cleaning paint and other arts materials. Additional facilities including tables, chairs, whiteboards, heaters, and fans are available to hirers. Basic AV equipment is available to hirers.
