Conferences and venue hire

A modern, unique space for your event

The British Museum offers you a flexible suite of facilities in an ideal central location for your daytime or evening events.

The unique grade-one listed public galleries are complemented with a suite of conference facilities in the Clore Education Centre. Designed by Lord Norman Foster, the British Museum’s Clore Education Centre provides the perfect environment for everything from presentations and seminars to product launches and brainstorming sessions.

Surrounded by such extraordinary examples of culture and history, your delegates and guests will enjoy state-of-the-art facilities and during gallery opening hours they will also have access to the collection for inspiration, distraction and relaxation. The perfect place for real free thinking and an unforgettable event.

Whether you need a large theatre or a small studio space, you will be guided through every stage. From site visit, administration and pre-planning through to managing the event itself, the Museum has dedicated staff on hand to help you.
