THE PRESTIGE OF ONE OF THE SPORTING WORLD’S MOST CELEBRATED INTERIORS WILL ENHANCE ANY LUNCH, DINNER OR RECEPTION.

The Long Room, which houses some of the finest paintings in MCC’s impressive collection, is at the heart of cricket’s grandest clubhouse.

Your guests can enjoy an ambiance steeped in the history of the game, though they don’t have to be cricket enthusiasts for this Grade II*-listed building to give them a lasting impression of elegance.

The Long Room is an opulent setting for a dinner or luncheon. The adjoining Long Room Bar is an ideal space for your pre-lunch or dinner drinks reception.

The Pavilion at Lord’s is one of the most celebrated buildings in the sporting world; given special Grade II * listed status by English Heritage in 1982, it is one of only three buildings still used for its original purpose. Designed by the architect Thomas Verity, it was constructed in the winter of 1889-90 at a cost of £21,000 to serve an increased membership of 4,000.

For most cricket enthusiasts the highlight of the Lord’s Tour is a visit to the famous Long Room that forms the heart of the Pavilion. Its name harks back to the `Long Rooms’ offering food and wine that formed the centrepiece of the 18th century pleasure grounds beside which cricket was originally played in London.

The finest of MCC’s pictures spanning the entirety of cricket history have continuously lined the walls, providing a stunning backdrop for Club dinners and events and of course for the players on match days who make their entrance on to the field through this very room.

The Long Room is suitable for an array of event types. Browse our Long Room packages below:
