Gala Event

We are delighted to announce that the 2012 Conference Gala evening will take place on Wednesday 27th June at the Cutlers Hall, Sheffield. This Grade II listed building is the most prestigious venue in Sheffield. Built in 1832 and located in the heart of the city, The Cutlers’ Hall is the finest livery hall in the north of England and the home of the Company of Cutlers in Hallamshire. Your first glimpse of the main staircase will be truly memorable as you view the enormous chandelier and beautiful wood panelling. The venue hosts a spectacular display of richly decorated rooms, creating a very relaxing and impressive atmosphere.

More details will be added soon. In the meantime you can view the Cutlers Hall website at: http://www.cutlers-hall-sheffield.co.uk
