It ought to be - New Hall is a near-perfect place to run a small (around 100 people) RPG or SF convention, and I've never been to a bad one there. Famous for being a building allegedly designed for the middle east but built in Britain, and for the Thunderbirds-style giant lift that used to raise the breakfast buffet from the kitchens up two floors to the dining hall - now replaced with a larger and much better permanent buffet in an extension added a couple of years ago, but it isn't the same, dash it... people used to come up to breakfast early just to watch the thing rise from the floor and hum the Thunderbirds "giant machinery moving very slowly" theme.
