Venue2014 sees the Storries XI return to the Grand Connaught Rooms, Covent Garden. Today, since being acquired by Principal Hayley Hotels and Conference Venues in 2009, the venue has undergone a dramatic refurbishment programme transforming into a world class inspirational venue. Sympathetically restored, the palatial Grand Connaught Rooms is now a venue that impresses, captivates and inspires its visitors. Recent events include: Elle Style Awards, Ralph Lauren and Britain's Got Talent. The building has been the Headquarters of the Freemasons since 1717. Originally, the freemasons would meet in various taverns until, in 1775, the Marquis of Normandy's mansion was demolished and the foundation stone was laid at 61 Great Queen Street.
