London Irish Centre
The London Irish Centre has a wide range of spaces able to cater for events of any size. Based in leafy Camden, the LIC has been a focus for the Irish community in London, providing a range of welfare and support services as well as promoting Irish culture and events throughout the year.
Sliced Events became the official venue and event partners for the London Irish Centre in 2009. Since then, we have worked closely with the charity to develop a range of fabulous event packages at the centre. As well as supplying all the catering, event planning and venue management, Sliced Events also handles all external events at the centre, including weddings, corporate events, private parties, and concerts.
We are also pleased to host a range of other functions in our spaces, from theatrical rehearsals to our White Collar Boxing tournaments!
Sliced Events is delighted to be able to offer the London Irish Centre as a venue for a wide range of wonderful events, all delivered with the utmost professionalism and true Irish hospitality. And in case you’re wondering – our hospitality is Irish but you don’t have to be!
