The mix of tradition and innovation, as well as the superb meeting spaces, make both schools excellent choices for events. However, they each have their own strengths and unique offerings, so let's take a look:. Set among superb landscapes, Harrow School offers a variety of meeting rooms, reception spaces, conference venues, award ceremonies, sports and team away day facilities and unique venues.
The wide range of choice makes the school an excellent option for almost any type of event you can think of including exhibitions, fashion shows, and weddings. Harrows School offers 9 spaces of different sizes, layouts and styles, and the versatile rooms can accommodate groups of 5 — guests. For intimate meetings and team building activities, Harrow offers 3 Cricket Pavilions , that offer both indoor and outdoor spaces for up to 50 guests.
For a conference or a performance-style event, nothing comes close to the dramatic effect of the stunning Speech Room. The stained-glass art, the wooden arches, the contrasting colours, this whole room is a masterpiece. A picture speaks louder than words in this case, so take a look. Another one of our favourites is the Alex Fitch Room. One of the most majestic spaces at Harrow School, the room is located in the War Memorial Building and its entire contents are even older than the building itself.
The room boasts elegant and intricate panelling from the Elizabethan period and decorative accents such as the chandeliers, a fireplace, and stained glass, as well as flooring from a battleship deck. For a luxurious diner of up to 20 people, this room is second to none.
Harrow School offers clear day delegate packages for half or full days, as well as dedicated team building packages and activities for Away Days. Eton also offers a variety of great spaces for events. We love the School Hall, which was built as a memorial for the Etonians who lost their lives in the Boer War. The space is excellent for concerts, lectures etc. Apart from the main facilities, Eton also offers several external venues. Queen's Eyot can be hired exclusively and is perfect for Away Days and team building activities for groups of up to people.
You can choose from a variety of land and water-based activities that the events team offers. Also owned by Eton College, Dorney Lake is a fantastic sporting and events venue that even took part in the Olympics. The lakeside retreat is a great place to host intimate meetings, offering several meeting rooms that accommodate up to 18 guests in a boardroom setup.
For larger events, the Lake View Room can be extended to fit people in a cabaret layout or in a theatre setup. Entry to Eton is competitive and thus only boys with high potential may be awarded a place. Aristocratic or privileged backgrounds are no longer necessary requirements for entry. An increasing number of pupils from disadvantaged backgrounds are now able to apply and receive funding.
Offering an all-male, all boarding school education, Eton College caters to 1, students between 13 and Website optional. Save my name, email, and website in this browser for the next time I comment. Contents 1 Is Eton better than Harrow?
