What are the available times and access restrictions for events?
City Garden is available Monday-Friday from 6pm-midnight including setup and de-rig time. Venue access begins at 6pm for setup, with earliest guest arrival at 6:30pm depending on production requirements. All guests must exit by midnight to allow time for venue reset before evening restaurant service.
How does Sky Garden handle events during tourist hours?
Sky Garden operates as a ticketed tourist attraction 10am-6pm weekdays and 11am-9pm weekends. Events crossing into these hours require full exclusive venue hire for minimum 300 standing or 100 seated guests. Sky Garden can only close for private events 26 times per year maximum, and this limit has been reached for some periods.
What catering packages are available and what do they include?
Catering packages start from £195-£200 + VAT per person and typically include 3 canapés, 3-course dinner, 1 glass of prosecco/champagne, 1/2 bottle house wine, 1 beer, 1 soft drink, and 1 water. Outside catering is not permitted - all food and beverage must be provided by Sky Garden's in-house team.
What are the booking hold policies and payment requirements?
Dates are initially held on 2nd option (provisional hold). Sky Garden cannot offer 1st option holds until 8 weeks before the event date. Payment timelines and deposit requirements are not specified in available information - clients should contact the venue directly for these details.
Are there restrictions on AV equipment and production setup?
Large LED screens may not be accommodated due to space constraints - Sky Garden can offer 75" TV screens as an alternative. Setup time is limited to the 2-hour window between 6pm-8pm for evening events. Clients requiring extensive production setup should discuss requirements early as setup time cannot extend into tourist operating hours.
What happens if Sky Garden cannot accommodate my event requirements?
If Sky Garden cannot accommodate your event due to capacity, timing, or budget constraints, they will offer to find alternative venues through their network. They have a sister venue at 8 Bishopsgate (5-minute walk away) which may have suitable spaces for events that don't work at Sky Garden.
Does Sky Garden accommodate wedding ceremonies?
Sky Garden does not hold a license for wedding ceremonies, so the ceremony would need to take place at another London location. However, they can host wedding receptions with full venue exclusive hire from 6am-6am including setup and de-rig time.
What are the key contact details and booking process?
Events are managed by the Rhubarb Hospitality Collection team. Key contacts include Senior Event Planners who handle initial enquiries and require details about event format, guest numbers, timings, and budget before providing proposals. The venue is located at 1 Sky Garden Walk, London, EC3M 8AF.
