photography Jayne Lloyd Events at the Geffrye Museum

The Geffrye Museum is set in Grade I listed 18th century almshouses surrounded by tranquil gardens in Hoxton, minutes north of the City. The museum explores the home and home life from 1600 to the present day through a series of evocative period London living rooms and gardens. The museum s green and peaceful setting and proximity to the City make it an ideal venue for receptions, cocktail parties, press launches, talks and meetings. During the summer months, both the front lawns and period gardens can also be hired for events. The museum is open to the public from 10am to 5pm every day except Monday. Our in-house caterers specialise in seasonal, locally sourced produce and can offer simple canapes and drinks to sit down banquets. All prices listed are exclusive of VAT. photography Jane Lloyd photography Peter Dazeley

Chapel & Reading Rooms At the heart of the museum, you will find the original almshouse chapel, a beautiful, high-ceiling space complete with wooden pews and pulpit. Almshouse residents were obliged to attend services here each week. The two Reading Rooms off the Chapel provide additional space for receptions or private dining offering very different atmospheres, one space with panoramic views of the gardens and the other, a beautifully restored panelled library with multiple fireplaces. The spaces are ideal for pre-dinner drinks in the Chapel before dining in the Reading Room or for mid-sized drinks receptions throughout the spaces.
