Queen
Elizabeth II Conference Centre
Closely
located to icons of the London landscape,
Big Ben and The Houses of Parliament, is The
QEIICC. Erected in 1986 the building has
evolved into one of the leading conference
centres in the UK and Europe. The building
has seven floors and 26 event areas in a
selection of sizes: ranging from 1,300 to
over 2,000 square metres of floor area for
exhibition space. Equipped with the latest
technology expect
wireless and HD visual equipment throughout
the building.
The British
Museum
The British
Museum is quite impressive as a conference
venue. Although it does not provide as much
meeting space as the QUIICC, it is grand and
contemporary providing ample space for a
number of meetings and activities. There are
two purpose built lecture theatres, which
are the base for events at The British
Museum, seeing the venue cater for around
500 guests across the foyers and the
theatres.
A cinema
Sound strange
and innovative? Cinemas can offer a lot more
than just film screenings. The state-of-the
art digital projection facilities make
presenting on a large screen effortless.
Whether your ultimate
corporate
venues are for a simple presentation, product launch or conference, with plug
and play access, your event could be more
straightforward than ever before. With
cinema companies, such as Cineworld boasting
79 cinemas worldwide, no matter where you
are located you could have your own
auditorium for your event.
Vinopolis
Vinopolis in
the heart of London is famous for wine
tours, but it also caters for events of all
varieties, from exhibitions, conferences,
and summer parties to team building
exercises. The building was designed as a
wine tasting venue, but is now recognised as
one of London’s most popular event
locations. This could be perfect for
business events that can be twinned with an
enjoyable wine tasting session.
Old Trafford
If you are
looking for a location closer to central
England, Old Trafford in Manchester is an
iconic and dramatic venue that could add
some excitement to your event. Home to the
famous football team Manchester United, Old
Trafford offers 14 different spaces for
events, five of which can hold a capacity
over 300.
Weston Park
Situated in
beautiful Shropshire is the gorgeous stately
home of Weston Park. The house itself, and
the stables, can be ideal for
corporate
events and hospitality, as well as weddings and team building activities,
depending on your needs. The extensive
grounds provide the opportunity for event
organisers to place marquees and other
temporary structures to maximise the space
available The host of the annual V-Festival
each summer, if enough land to occupy up to
90,00 people is what you require, this venue
is a must-see.
