Overview
Among the world's finest museum spaces, The Natural History
Museum offers several very different but equally memorable galleries
as venues for evening and daytime events. Offering professional
event management, technical facilities and catering services, the
museum also provides one of the most enchanting and memorable venues
available in London.
Central Hall
The largest of the museum's galleries
and without doubt one of the most prestigious settings for an evening
event available. Stunning architecture includes a soaring vaulted
ceiling, intricately carved terracotta arches, a grand stone staircase
and a beautiful mozaic floor. Central Hall can accommodate
150 - 650 guests for dinner, with dancing either in the same
room or
the adjoining
North
Hall.
Earth Galleries
The Earth Galleries provide a dynamic,
modern setting and an extremely popular venue ever since
opening. Ideally suited to parties, dinners or product launches
for up to 450 guests, the Earth Galleries boast a dramatic, soaring
atrium
with 18 metre high slate walls etched with depictions of
the night sky, and a central escalator passing through a giant
symbolic "earth".
Darwin Centre
The recently unveiled Darwin Centre, home
to the museum's extensive zoology collection, provides a fascinating
venue for dinners, receptions
and
evening
presentations for up to 100.
Tours can also be arranged giving guests
a unique glimpse into the scientific world behind the scenes of
the
public
Museum. Other galleries available for hire include the Jerwood
Gallery and the famous Whale Hall, perfect for dinners for up to
50 or receptions for up to 200.
Daytime Venues
Among the spaces available for daytime hire is the Fletts Events
Theatre, a fully equipped, 209 seat venue perfect for presentations
or lectures. The elegant, naturally lit Spencer Gallery is an extremely
flexible space that works equally well in theatre, boardroom
or dinner layouts for up to 180 delegates. Daytime events at the Museum offer
the added attraction of a fascinating location for
delegates to explore
the
during breaks.
