The Tabernacle in Notting Hill, built in 1887, is a Grade II listed building. It has a Curved Romanesque facade of red brick and terracotta, towers with broach spires. The venue comprises multi-purpose theatre with original decor, a board room, arts studio, gallery, bar/restaurant and a front courtyard.
The Tabernacle is now run by Carnival Village with event management.
There is much architectural interest in the Tabernacle. The venue has been associated with big names such as Pink Floyd and The Clash, who performed in the theatre in the 1960s, and it has direct links with the world-famous Notting Hill Carnival. The versatility of the venue makes it a great setting for product launches, networking events, receptions, dinners and conferences.

Famous quotes containing the word hill:
“A common and natural result of an undue respect for law is, that you may see a file of soldiers, colonel, captain, corporal, privates, powder-monkeys, and all, marching in admirable order over hill and dale to the wars, against their wills, ay, against their common sense and consciences, which makes it very steep marching indeed, and produces a palpitation of the heart.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
