Hiring the Portico

Last night, the evening was aflow with legal beagles from the Lincoln House Chambers and various local law firms. The atmosphere was bubbly just like the champagne and the Library was a hive of activity. Champagne corks popping, attendants with plates of canapés weaving in and out of clusters of lords, barristers, and judges who all came to celebrate Kate Blackwell’s elevation to Queen’s Council.

Kate was introduced to The Portico Library by a friend, Charlotte Holland, who is not only her colleague from the Lincoln House Chambers but also a member of our fair Library. It was then that Kate decided that she wanted to hold her celebration festivities here with us at the Portico.  Once she came to have a look at the library with Charlotte it was Love at First Sight. The space sold itself. And who could resist? Founded in 1806 our Grade II* listed building makes for a quirky and certainly noteworthy location to hold any function.  From parties to presentations, meetings to mezzes, soirées to celebrations. The possibilities could be endless.
