Memorials

Choosing a venue for a memorial gathering is an important part of making arrangements for family and friends to come together following the loss of someone close to them.

Located in central London, Gray’s Inn offers a selection of historic rooms for memorial receptions, providing space for guests to meet, share memories and spend time together. Whether you’re planning a small gathering or a larger reception, our events team can help you find a suitable room.

A Setting for Family and Friends to Gather

Gray’s Inn’s historic rooms offer a range of settings for memorial receptions, from smaller spaces for close family and friends to larger rooms for gatherings with more guests.

A quiet room can also be made available for guests who would appreciate somewhere peaceful to sit or take a moment away from the event. 

Our central London location, close to Chancery Lane, makes the Inn accessible for guests travelling from across London and beyond.

Food and Drink

Food and drink can be arranged through our catering partner, Searcys, with options to suit your celebration.

You may prefer a simple drinks reception with tea, coffee and refreshments, or a more substantial gathering with canapés, bowl food or a seated meal. Our team can discuss the available options and help you make arrangements that are appropriate for your guests.

Support with the Arrangements

We understand that organising a memorial reception can involve a number of decisions at an already difficult time. Our events team will be on hand to discuss your requirements, explain the available spaces and coordinate the arrangements with you.

From choosing the room and confirming guest numbers to organising catering and timings, we’ll help you work through the details so you can focus on spending time with family and friends.
