National Portrait Gallery

Spanning six centuries, our artworks reveal the inspiring and sometimes surprising personal stories that have shaped, and continue to shape, a nation – from global icons to local champions, national treasures to unsung heroes.

From the eminent individuals that adorn the Gallery’s walls to the dedicated team who will work with you through each stage of planning, the National Portrait Gallery is the perfect venue for your special event. The spectacular spaces available for hire offer a wide range of options from the contemporary to the classical, displaying a Collection that encompasses art, biography, history and fame.

The National Portrait Gallery has a variety of newly-refurbished and versatile spaces that can be transformed to accommodate a range of events from a grand reception to an intimate dinner, an early morning breakfast to a corporate conference. This inspirational setting will ensure your bespoke event is one to remember.
