Customer Testimonial
My experience at Toynbee Hall was nothing but brilliant! From my first conversations with Ben he was welcoming and accommodating to all my needs for my event.
The event space we used was the Lecture Hall and it was perfect for our event. We were also equipped with AV systems which were at a high spec and exactly what we needed.
Ben and Whitney are a fantastic team and they were so supportive on the day of our events, nothing was too much to ask!
I will be using Toynbee Hall for future events for sure as it has suitable spaces for all sorts of events such as workshops, conferences and training days.”
