The venue
A warehouse on the river,
rebuilt for talks
Tagus Riverside Hall was a cork warehouse until 2014. The brick walls and the long windows on the river stayed; everything else is new, from the raked seating in the Main Hall to the fast wifi in every corner.
- Main Hall for 900, River Room for 220, Studio 2 for 60
- Step-free from the street to every room, with a hearing loop in the Main Hall
- A quiet room, a parents’ room and a cloakroom for luggage on Friday
- Lunch on the river terrace, weather permitting
