Norwich room hire | The Shoebox Enterprises

Hire a space: the perfect setting for meetings, workshops, interviews and more

We’re really lucky to be situated in a grade II listed building, not only getting the benefits of its character and historic charm but also its ample space. In fact, if you’ve ever only seen us from the outside, you may not quite realise how much of a tardis our building is, or how mediaeval! We’re actually sitting on some very old and hidden parts of the city only accessible via our tours.

Before you ask (because we know you want to), it’s a bit too spooky and cold to have a meeting down there!

Hire Space

Our meeting room and event space are flexible and can meet a range of needs:

Interviews

Group meetings

Focus Groups

Support Groups

Creative writing groups

Training Courses

Bright and lofty meeting room

On our top floor, we have a beautiful and airy meeting room, sitting beneath the majesty of Norwich Castle. Perfect for board meetings, interviews, or small groups of 10 or 12 in a seminar-like setting.

Our meeting room is available to hire from Monday – Friday, 9:30AM – 5:30PM. All rooms for hire have WiFi available with a fast (and free) connection.

Community Hub Space

Located on the ground floor, our versatile community hub space is available for hire. While its availability is limited due to regular use by our community groups and activities, this larger area is perfect for hosting informal meetings, workshops, or your own events and activities.

Facilities include:

Tea and coffee-making facilities
Access to a shared kitchen (available for an additional charge)
A recently refurbished ground-floor toilet

Plus, you can book this space outside of our regular office hours, offering flexibility to suit your needs.

We’re sorry, we’re a little bit wonky…

Unfortunately, our wonky Grade II listed building is not fully wheelchair accessible, and we do not have a lift to our top floor meeting room. Our Community Hub Space is partially wheelchair accessible but access is restricted to users of small wheelchairs who are able to use our ramp. If you have any questions about our spaces and how accessible they are, please get in touch. We’re happy to provide photos or videos of the stairs and discuss how we can assist.
