The hac is an exceptional and thoroughly unexpected venue; an historic 18th century mansion set in a six-acre garden yet located just a stone's throw from moorgate in the heart of the city of london. Inside armoury house, several of the elegant rooms are available for hire, including the atmospheric oak-panelled long room, which is one of london's most stunning venues for a meeting, dinner, reception or party. Armoury house is undoubtedly magnificent, but what sets the hac apart from other city venues is the spectacular, six-acre artillery garden. This can be hired for sports such as cricket, football, rugby, softball and croquet, as well as for corporate fun days and barbecues. Twice a year, midsummer and christmas, huge marquees are put up on the garden and parties of up to 2000 guests dance the night away in one of the most attractive settings in london. The hac's exciting new conference and events venue was officially opened by hm the queen in 2007. Contemporary and modern yet incorporating elements of the hac's history, the prince consort rooms are an exceptionally sleek and stylish city venue of great character. With a capacity of up to 450 for a conference or 450 for a seated dinner, the prince consort rooms are one of the largest permanent venues in the city. The hac is a truly unique venue. Nowhere else in the city of london can offer so much. From the smallest meetings to the largest parties, the hac has a venue to suit every event.
