The Great Oak Hall is a magnificent 'medieval' timber-framed building built by the Friends of Westonbirt Arboretum.
The Foyer, manned by Volunteers, provides a valuable
information and interpretation centre for all visitors.
The auditorium provides a functional forum with an ambience unique to this glorious building and the tranquillity of Westonbirt Arboretum.
It is available for conferences, lectures, private functions, weddings,
exhibitions and craft workshops. During such events the hall will be
unavailable to visitors.
The Hall seats up to a maximum of 80 people and audiovisual equipment is installed, with an induction loop to help
those wearing hearing aids.
Catering is available for functions. The Maples restaurant is open all
the year round.

The hall was constructed from 'green' oak using traditional
techniques, such as dowels and wedges in preference to nails and
bolts. |
Some of the oaks used in construction came from Silk Wood in the
Arboretum, and some were donated by Friends and local landowners.
The building is testament to the Friends' growth, a visual statement
of our strength, support and faith in the future of Westonbirt, The
National Arboretum.
