You cannot bring external caterers - all catering must be provided through Moving Venue. They offer everything from elegant drinks receptions and stylish dinners to full awards evening menus tailored to your event.

Standard venue access is from 07:00 - 23:00 (7am to 11pm) included in the base hire fee. The venue has a license until 2am, so you can extend your event hours for £750 per hour beyond 11pm. Late license extensions are not included in the standard venue hire cost.
What guest journey and spaces are included when hiring The Vestibules?
Guests enter through the exclusive Bronze Tower Doors and check coats in the Grade II listed cloakroom.

What AV equipment and technical facilities are available in The Vestibules?

The venue works with recommended AV suppliers who can provide screens, microphones, PA systems, lighting, and staging as needed. You'll need to arrange and budget separately for any technical requirements.
Can The Vestibules space be divided and how does this affect capacity and pricing?
Yes, The Vestibules can be divided into 3 distinct areas using decorative doors, each with its own unique charm. This flexibility allows you to create separate spaces for different parts of your event, such as a drinks reception area and dining area. The £5,000 + VAT hire fee covers the full space regardless of how you configure it.
What are the restrictions on event types and entertainment at 60 Great Queen Street?
Due to venue licensing terms, concerts are not permitted at 60 Great Queen Street.
