The Lindley Hall opened its doors for the first time in 1904, at the height of the Edwardian era. It was the monarch King Edward VII who had mooted the idea of the Royal Horticultural Society having a purpose-built exhibition hall for its shows. On 22 July 1904, together with the Society's patron Queen Alexandra, he officially declared the venue open. The Lindley Hall was designed by Edwin J Stebbs, and his focus on achieving as much natural light as possible remains a key part of the character of the building more than 100 years later. The space, light and elegance inherent in its Edwardian design create a breathtaking effect for organisers and visitors alike. AN ICONIC LOCATION The Lindley Hall continues to set a gold standard for every type of event, hosting dinners, exhibitions, fashion shows, receptions, weddings, product launches and more, both public and private. It also provides a stunning backdrop for filming, car launches and adverts . Organisers are able to take advantage of the Hall’s stunning glass-vaulted ceiling fitted with blinds, for an abundance of natural light or can opt for full blackout.
