Are concerts and live music events permitted at the venue?

Due to venue licensing terms, concerts are not allowed at 60 Great Queen Street. However, musical theatre productions with live music are permitted, and the venue features a majestic Willis organ with organists available on request.

What audio-visual equipment is included and what needs to be brought in?

There is no AV equipment included in The Grand Temple - everything must be brought in by external suppliers. The venue has rigging points for weight up to 28 tonnes and can accommodate full technical setups for productions, presentations, and events.

What is the guest journey and flow through the venue spaces?

Guests enter through the iconic Bronze Tower Doors into the Grade II listed cloakroom, then ascend the marble staircase to The Vestibules for drinks reception, before entering The Grand Temple through dramatic doors for the main event. The Long Room is also available as additional space.

Are there restrictions on guest numbers or event types?

The venue cannot accommodate events requiring more than 1,300 guests total across all spaces. Events requiring 1,000-1,500 capacity with large stages may not be suitable due to space limitations, and all events must comply with venue licensing restrictions.

What booking timeline and availability should be expected?

December is unavailable due to Christmas installations that won't work for most events. Weekend availability varies significantly, and the venue recommends booking well in advance. Site visits are highly recommended as the scale and atmosphere must be experienced in person.

Are there box office facilities or ticketing services available?

The venue does not have box office facilities. If you're selling tickets for your event, you must arrange ticketing services independently through external providers.
