The Natural History Museum has announced an exclusive hire opportunity for event organisers and planners, offering the entire museum in South Kensington for private events.
The Museum has also added the Garden Kitchen to its portfolio, a new venue hire space available for exclusive day-hire and evening events.
Robert Wetherell, head of events and catering at the Natural History Museum said: “We’re on a mission to create advocates for the planet, and hosting events at the Museum helps us to support the vital work of our 350 scientists, who are finding solutions to the planetary emergency.”
Ideal for large scale events, filming, launches, conferences and full-scale activations, the whole Museum hire will see full-day exclusive access to the Hintze Hall, Earth Hall alongside a six-metre-long Stegosaurus called Sophie and galleries such as the Wildlife Photographer of the Year Gallery and the Dinosaur Gallery.
The newest addition to the Museum’s venue hire portfolio, the Garden Kitchen, nestled within the recently transformed gardens, features a purpose-built 70-person meeting space, The Garden Room—an octagonal space with huge floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking the gardens.
Wetherell added: “Architects Feilden Fowles designed the highly sustainable timber and stone building to complement the Museum, which offers a special new space in the London event scene, holding up to 300 for standing or 100 for dinner. This new and incredible space opens directly into the Evolution Garden, where our newest diplodocus Fern gazes down on an immersive timeline of life on earth, told through flowers, plants, geology and brass inlays of creatures.”
