What is the ideal room layout for a 50-person workshop in Chelsea?

For interactive workshops, a U-shape or hollow square uses 1.7 m² per person and ensures sightlines. Classroom style (5 rows of 10) suits presentations and yields 1.5 m² per delegate. Allow 1 m between tables for circulation and AV set-ups at front. Specify flipcharts and breakout tables at booking stage.

What local suppliers cover furniture hire in Chelsea?

Chelsea-based AV and furniture specialists like London Meeting Furniture and Chelsea Event Stylists operate within a 3 km radius. They provide ergonomic chairs (£2–£5 each), trestle tables (£10–£15 each) and lounge seating (£50 per unit). Confirm 48-hour delivery and on-site assembly in your contract.

How much space do you need for a 50-person conference?

Plan on 1.5–2 m² per delegate. For 50 people that’s 75–100 m² total. This allows classroom, theatre or boardroom layouts with aisles and AV stands. If you need catering or networking zones, add 20–30 m² extra. Always measure usable floor area—subtract fixed pillars or raised platforms.

What AV specification ensures smooth conferencing for 50 people?

Request at least a 5,000-lumen LCD projector or 55" screen, dual lapel or handheld mics, mixer with four inputs, and 100 Mbps dedicated Wi-Fi. Confirm HDMI, VGA and wireless presentation kits. Budget £800–£1,200 for full-day hire. Test all connections 30 minutes before arrival.

How do I budget for catering for 50 delegates in Chelsea?

Allocate £25–£45 per head for two coffee breaks and a two-course buffet lunch. If you choose a plated lunch, budget £45–£65 per delegate. Factor in dietary-requirement surcharges (approx. £5 extra per person). Agree final numbers 7 days in advance to avoid penalties.

What is the average daily rate per delegate for 50 people in Chelsea?

Expect a day delegate rate of £75–£120 per person, midweek. This includes meeting room hire, two coffee breaks, buffet lunch and basic AV (screen and PA). Premium venues with bespoke catering or luxury finishes rise to £120–£150 per head. Always confirm minimum spends—often £4,000–£6,000 for a 50-person booking.

Which Tube stations serve Chelsea conference venues?

South Kensington (Circle, District, Piccadilly) is a 5-minute walk to most Chelsea venues, with 40 trains/hour at peak. Sloane Square (Circle, District) offers 20 trains/hour and direct connections from Victoria. Gloucester Road (Piccadilly, Circle, District) lies 10 minutes away. Taxis and Santander cycles are plentiful along King’s Road.

How long does it take to set up a 50-person conference in Chelsea?

Allow 2–3 hours for full set-up: 1 hour for furniture layout, 45 minutes for AV rigging and 45 minutes for lighting and catering stations. Award a 30-minute buffer for last-minute changes. Book venue access 4 hours before start to accommodate this schedule.
