Our space has been designed especially to display three major artworks. These art walls are a central focus the venue ,  given prime position and gallery lighting.

Overseen by our Designer and Art consultant, The Broken Lantern Art Project aims to display and promote a single artist or three artists each season - influenced or by different place or culture . This inspiration will also be incorporated by our chefs and mixoligists into our with our menu, cocktail and wine list.
