Mary Ward House is a fascinating Grade 1 listed building built in 1898 and financed by the wealthy philanthropist Passmore Edwards. Mary Ward, the novelist and social reformer, was the inspiration behind the endeavour to provide a centre of training, care and entertainment for the less fortunate in society.

Set over three floors, there are multiple rooms suitable for all types of events.  The largest room which is the Mary Ward Hall, is situated on the first floor and has a capacity of up to 350 seated and 500 standing so is perfect for large confererences, exhibitions, AGMs and exams. On the lower ground floor, you will find Brewer & Smith conference and exhibition hall which can accommodate up to 237 seated and 300 standing.  These large spaces are complemented by numerous smaller rooms, offering a space for any type of event and all of the rooms have natural daylight.

Outside there is a lovely courtyard garden for your delegates to enjoy either during a break or for after-event drinks.

What Our Clients Say

I have used ‘Function Fixers’ now on many occasions and they are my go-to for literally any event I need help with organising. Heather is an absolute superstar who is always there to help and goes above and beyond to find me the perfect venue and make sure it is a smooth transition from start to finish.

I would highly recommend them to anyone and am so thankful to have found the company…absolute life and time savers, and certainly ‘fixers’!!

I've been working with Carrie for the past 2-3 months to finalise a venue for a 250pax conference we are hosting next year. She was exceptional in putting forward appropriate suggestions and even better at managing our changing requests and circumstances. Nothing was too much trouble. We have just signed on a venue and we are delighted. Highly recommend!

I contacted Function Fixers and was lucky enough to speak directly with Carrie. I needed a venue for a large corporate event I was planning. Carrie was fantastic from start to finish and so helpful... and very patient! My events are run quarterly and I will definitely be using their services again. Highly recommend!

Carrie has been amazing to work with over the past 2 years. She's been really flexible and understanding with our always changing briefs due to the pandemic. We've finally managed to book in our venue for our next conference and we're really excited!
