Gala Dinner @ The Royal Hall

The Royal Hall is a Grade II* listed Edwardian performance hall and theatre located just next to the Harrogate Convention Centre. Over 100-years-old, the Royal Hall was re-opened by Prince Charles in 2008 following an eight-million-pound restoration. Its 950-seat capacity, spectacular décor and large versatile floor space, make it a breath-taking setting for our Gala Dinner and Prize Giving Ceremony.

Dinner will be held inside the performance hall, allowing you time to take in the beautiful décor.

Please contact the events team before booking on meetings@bps.ac.uk if you require wheelchair access.

For only £85 you will receive entry to this beautifully unique venue, a welcome drink, three course locally sourced menu, followed by the awards ceremony.

Add your ticket to the Gala Dinner when you register for Pharmacology 2024. If you have already booked your Pharmacology 2024 ticket, follow the instructions in your confirmation email to edit your booking.
