What are the capacity limits and minimum guest requirements for dining events?
The City Garden Bar accommodates up to 130 guests for exclusive hire events. There is a minimum guest requirement of 60 people - if fewer than 60 attend, you will still be charged for 60 guests.

Are there restrictions on when private events can be held?
Events that cross into ticketed tourist hours (10am-6pm weekdays, 11am-9pm weekends) require full exclusive venue hire. Sky Garden can only close for full or half-day private events a maximum of 26 times per year, and this annual limit may be reached, preventing additional closures.
Can outside catering or vendors be brought into the venue?
No outside catering is permitted at Sky Garden. All food and beverage must be provided through their in-house catering services, which must meet the minimum spend requirements outlined in your event package.
What booking holds are available and how far in advance can events be confirmed?
Dates can be held on 2nd option (provisional hold) initially. Events cannot be placed on 1st option (confirmed booking) until 8 weeks before the event date. This means final confirmation and payment schedules are tied to this 8-week timeline.
Does Sky Garden accommodate wedding ceremonies?
No, Sky Garden does not hold a license for wedding ceremonies. Wedding ceremonies must be conducted at another licensed location, but Sky Garden can host wedding receptions with full venue hire starting at £47,500 + VAT plus minimum catering spend.
What happens if my event format or budget doesn't suit Sky Garden's offerings?
If Sky Garden cannot accommodate your event requirements or budget, they may refer you to their sister venue 8 Bishopsgate, located a 5-minute walk away. This venue has different spaces and pricing that may better suit smaller or different format events.
What are the setup time limitations and production restrictions?
Setup time is typically limited to 2 hours (6:00pm-8:00pm for evening events). This timeframe may not accommodate large LED screens or extensive production setups. The venue can offer 75-inch TV screens as an alternative to large LED installations that require longer setup times.
