Frequently asked questions
What is the venue hire cost and what does it include?
Venue hire rates varying by date and season. This includes exclusive use of the 58th floor space from 6:30pm to 1am, with guests welcomed at 7pm and invited to descend at 12:30am. The venue operates as Europe's highest event space at 254 metres above ground, available only for exclusive hire.
What is the minimum spend or hire fee required to book Horizon 22 Events for a private event or party?
For exclusive events, the minimum food and beverage spend is typically from £40,000 + VAT for evening events, with venue hire fees starting at £15,000–£20,000 + VAT depending on timing and event type. Some larger or premium events quote a minimum spend of up to £48,000 or more, with total package costs (including ancillary and AV fees) sometimes ranging up to £85,200 + VAT. The venue makes clear that bookings below £40,000 + VAT are not accepted.
What additional mandatory costs are included beyond the minimum food and beverage spend?
In addition to the minimum food and beverage spend, there is a required venue hire fee (commonly £15,000–£20,000 + VAT for evening events) and an ancillary fee of £10,000–£12,000 + VAT, which includes cleaning, staff, security, and event furniture. For Christmas, AV and seasonal décor packages (including Christmas tree and lights) typically add another £6,000–£7,200 + VAT. All these elements are bundled into event quotes.
What is the guest capacity for banqueting, seated dinners, or standing receptions?
The space can accommodate up to 250 guests for seated banqueting dinners, with up to 280 possible for large awards events. For standing receptions and parties, capacity ranges from 250 to 400, but higher numbers may require a custom quote and approval. There is a minimum group size of 15 for semi-exclusive shared parties.
Are there any event type or guest number requirements or restrictions?
Horizon 22 Events is only available for large-scale exclusive events—there is a minimum requirement of at least 150–200 guests for seated events and minimum spends apply. Small groups (e.g. less than 100–150 people) and low-budget parties are routinely declined, as are private events with budgets under £40,000 + VAT.
What is the typical event timing or available hire periods for parties and dinners?
Evening hire periods commonly run from 18:00 or 18:30 until 23:00, 23:30 or 01:00. Access times for organisers may begin earlier (from about 17:00) for setup. Special ticketed events such as New Year's Eve parties may run from 21:00 until around 02:30. Early morning or sunrise breakfast bookings are available during the summer months only.
Are there any mandatory or bundled services included in the quoted packages?
Ancillary services such as professional event staff, security, cleaning, and event furniture are included via the ancillary fee. Standard event AV—such as LED wall, PA system, lighting, microphones, and digital signage—is bundled with hire. For Christmas, in-house festive décor (Christmas tree and lights) and advanced AV packages are mandatory and part of the package price.
Can external catering or specific cuisine be brought in for an event?
The venue offers bespoke in-house catering covering a wide range of dietaries, including kosher-friendly options through certified partners. Bringing in outside caterers is not mentioned as an option or as permitted; requests for external catering or highly specific cuisine may not be accommodated unless included within the venue’s preferred supplier arrangements.
What is the payment structure and booking process for securing a date?
Exact deposit amounts and payment timelines are not specified in the available information. Organisers should expect to pay significant non-refundable deposits and confirm all costs in writing before proceeding. Bookings are generally only progressed after budget and guest numbers meet the minimum requirements; soft holds are not confirmed without commitment.
Are there time-of-year or day-of-week restrictions on certain events?
Christmas parties and major seasonal events are typically offered for dates in early to mid-December, usually on Thursdays or Fridays. New Year’s Eve tickets run on 31 December only. Sunrise breakfast bookings are summer-only. There are no explicit limitations stated for other times, but minimum budgets and group sizes apply year-round.
What is included in a typical corporate party or gala dinner package?
A standard package may include exclusive venue hire (e.g. 18:30–01:00), minimum food and beverage spend covering a Champagne reception, three-course meal, drinks package (beer, wine, spirits), AV (LED wall, lighting), event staff, security, cleaning, furniture, seasonal décor if relevant (Christmas), and cloakroom. Upgrades for entertainment, additional décor, or specialist AV are available at extra cost.
Are there any unique venue rules or restrictions that bookers should know?
Horizon 22 strictly enforces its minimum spend and group size; it declines any booking requests that do not meet these thresholds. The space is designed only for exclusive use—no shared general admission or partial room hires are available except for select ticketed parties. For weddings and civil partnerships, the venue is fully licensed and offers complete celebration packages including ceremony and breakfast.
