Product Launch Events

The Light Auditorium

Construction of Friends House began in 1924 and the building opened in 1927. It was designed by Hubert Lidbetter, who won the Royal Institute of British Architects bronze medal for “best building erected in London” that year. The design included a Meeting House to seat at least 1,500 Friends for Yearly Meeting, the annual gatherings of Quakers.

Friends House has had many improvements since – and in 2014, following a year of renovation work, the Large Meeting House was relaunched as The Light, our 900 seat auditorium.

In 2015, The Light was awarded a regional RIBA award for its sensitive and innovative design, which includes a stunning skylight in a vaulted roof.
