OUR EVENT SPACES
Horseshoe Piazza & Court
Our property has an exquisite centerpiece - a picturesque gem situated in the midst of our historic grass courts. The horseshoe-shaped covered porch and meticulously manicured grounds are the perfect setting for al fresco dining and cocktails. The largest of all our venues, the Horseshoe Piazza and Court blend a relaxed feel with Newport elegance.
Hall of Famer's Gallery & Porch
This versatile indoor/outdoor space exudes a level of sophistication that truly makes a statement. The Hall of Famer's Gallery & Porch is an extension of our museum, spaciously transformed by high ceilings, a wall of glass French doors, and moveable exhibits. For a breath of fresh air, step out on the latticework porch and enjoy a bird's-eye view of the beautifully landscaped property.
Upper and Lower East Porch
Both are quaint spaces overlooking the spectacular grass courts. Limited availability, even in season, but they might just be the right fit for your special event.
Memorial Boardroom
Located in our newly-built building, the boardroom is a modern and sophisticated meeting space, designed to complement the historic character of the Hall of Fame, while cultivating a comfortable layout to inspire productivity.
