Frequently asked questions

Which tube stations serve Holborn event venues?
Holborn venues are directly served by Holborn station (Central/Piccadilly) at venue doorsteps. Chancery Lane (Central) is 450 m west, Covent Garden (Piccadilly) 650 m south, and Temple (Circle/District) 800 m east.
How much space per person is needed for 300 guests?
For theatre-style seating allow 1.2–1.5 sqm per person (360–450 sqm total). For banquet rounds expect 1.8–2 sqm per guest (540–600 sqm). Add a 10% buffer for staging and circulation, totalling c.600–660 sqm.
Are there on-site parking facilities for events of 300 in Holborn?
Most Holborn venues lack dedicated parking. Nearest public car park is NCP Southampton Row (0.2 miles). Recommend guests use public transport or pre-book a 20-space bay near Theobalds Road.
When is the peak booking period for corporate venues in Holborn?
Peak season runs May–July and September–November, midweek (Tue–Thu) 09:00–17:00. Book 3–6 months ahead to secure flexible layouts and avoid price surges of 10–15%.
What is the day delegate rate for 300 people in Holborn?
Expect rates of £60–£80 per head midweek (Tue–Thu) inclusive of venue hire, standard buffet lunch, tea/coffee breaks and basic AV. Premium venues rise to £100–£120 per person.
What licences are needed for a 300-person indoor event in Holborn?
You need a premises licence covering regulated entertainment and alcohol. Submit a Temporary Event Notice at least 10 working days before, with a fire risk assessment and proof of public liability (min £5 million). Security is typically 1 steward per 100 guests.
What ceiling height is needed for staging 300 guests?
A minimum clear height of 3.5 metres is recommended to rig lighting grids, projectors and decorative drapes. Venues with 4–5 metre ceilings allow more flexibility for trussing and suspended branding.
How many breakouts can a Holborn venue support for 300 attendees?
Use a 1:75 ratio for breakout rooms. For 300 guests that means 3–4 separate rooms of 50–100 sqm each. This ensures no room exceeds 100 delegates and maintains an intimate setting for workshops.
What minimum spend should I budget for a 300-guest event in Holborn?
Most Holborn venues require a minimum spend of £15,000–£25,000 midweek. This typically covers hire, buffet catering (£30–£45 per head), basic AV and service staff. Weekends can push this to £25,000–£35,000.
What AV equipment is essential for a 300-person conference in Holborn?
Equip stages with a 4-zone PA (≥4 speakers), two wireless handheld mics, a 20-channel digital mixer, dual 5,000 lumen projectors and 4×3 m screens front and rear. Include rack amps, lectern mic, lapel mic, and on-site technician support for setup and live mixing.
