Lincoln's Inn : The Great Hall

The Great Hall was built in 1843 to replace the Old Hall which is becoming inadequate for meeting all the demands made upon it.

During the four dining terms of the year, each 23 days long, it is used for dining, and students of the Inn keep their terms. In addition, the hall provides lunches for members throughout the year.

It is here, four times a year, that the formal ceremony of calling students of the Inn to the Bar takes place.

I have kept my terms (by dining 24 times) here before being Called to the Bar. My last dinner was on my Call Day which was also compulsory.
