Day hire typically runs from 09:00-17:00, while evening hire provides access from 17:30 when the museum closes to the public. The Atrium can only be hired on Mondays when the museum is closed to the public if you need it during daytime hours.

All daytime catering is handled exclusively by in-house partners Searcys, while evening events can use Searcys or approved external caterers from their approved list. You must work directly with the catering team for quotes and menu selection - the venue hire team will make introductions.

After confirming interest, you'll receive an order agreement to read, sign and return to confirm the booking. The finance team will then send an invoice to your provided email address, and any additional services like security require separate agreements.

A maximum of 30 exhibition stands can be accommodated across Foyle 2 and the Atrium - 16 stands in Foyle 2 and 14 in the Atrium. Each standard table space is 75cm x 150cm, and power outlets are available throughout both spaces with extension cables provided by the IT team.

Deliveries and collections must be booked for the day of the event only. All packages must be labeled 'FAO Venue Hire National Army Museum' so security can alert the venue hire team, and you must provide a list of expected couriers and which exhibitors they're for.

There is a small on-site car park ideal for deliveries, with access on the same floor as Foyle 1 and Foyle 2. The venue is located on Royal Hospital Road in Chelsea, and specific parking arrangements should be confirmed when booking.
