Venue Hire, Filming & Recording

Historic, unique, memorable and exceptional spaces for hire.

The magnificent Cathedral building provides a dramatic back drop for a number of venue hire opportunities including corporate hospitality, award ceremonies, gala dinners, literary events, exhibitions, concerts, graduations, product launches, music recordings and filming.

Hospitality has always been a fundamental part of life at Ely and dates back to the time it was a Benedictine monastery. We are proud of this tradition and are pleased to continue and develop this custom for the changing needs of the 21st Century.

This iconic landmark serves as a key location in East Anglia and is one of the largest venues in the region. It has been used as a venue by highly respected organisations including BAFTA and has also been a prominent film location for several well known productions.

We are delighted to share the building and its facilities by offering privileged access to businesses, charities and individuals. We can accommodate conferences, charity events, art exhibitions, dinners (both private & corporate) and product launches. Facilities include use of the Lady Chapel, the South Transept, the Nave or the whole Cathedral.

Venue hire requests are handled by a professional team of experienced staff who will ensure that your event runs smoothly and successfully.
