Natural History Museum, The
Three Unique Venues In One Museum
This magnificent Museum offers several very different but equally memorable galleries for evening and daytime events.
The Natural History Museum has three areas for spectacular evening events and one space for day time conferencing. The world famous Central Hall can entertain a host of events from dinner dances and awards ceremonies to fashion shows and rock concerts and easily holds 100 – 1200 guests. In addition the dynamic and futuristic Earth Galleries makes a stunning setting for cocktail receptions and lavish parties with the capacity for 50 – 600 guests.
The Darwin Centre is a new and exciting event space. Be one of the first to dazzle your guests beneath the eight-story cocoon, home to 200 Scientists and millions of plant and insect specimens.
Finally, the Flett theatre is a fixed seated auditorium holding 209 guests, ideal for presentations, product launches and can be hired with the Earth Hall for an evening event.This stunning Museum encourages clients to think creatively through using their expert events team. The team’s wealth of knowledge and passion for new and innovative industry advancements allows the Museum to offer exceptional personal service that few other venues can boast.
