Natural History Museum

The Natural History Museum is a world-leading science research centre and home to 80 million incredible natural history specimens. Once the doors have closed to the public for the day, the Natural History Museum transforms into one of London’s most iconic event venues. The vast Romanesque architecture in Hintze Hall, glistening treasures, hidden corridors stacked with specimens, dinosaur skeletons and a giant globe in the mighty Earth Hall are just some of the spectacular settings the Museum brings to any event. 

The world-renowned Museum, located in South Kensington, has an incredible range of venues available for hire, however large or small your party. Whether you are looking for an event with maximum impact or a more intimate celebration, the expert team will help you to choose the best space for your occasion. Private hire of Earth Hall can host up to 200 guests for dinner or 400 for a reception, while the newly transformed Darwin Centre Courtyard Centre can hold 150 guests for dinner or 350 for a reception. Under the watchful eye of Hope, a 25-metre blue whale skeleton, the hire of the famed Hintze Hall offers a grand space for up to 1,200 standing guests. 

By hosting an event at the Natural History Museum, you will directly help to support the Museum’s 350 scientists and their vital work, including finding solutions to the planetary emergency.
