The Barbican Events Centre is one of London’s most iconic and versatile destinations for corporate and private events. Located in the heart of the City, this world-renowned arts and conference venue is celebrated for its striking Brutalist architecture, cultural prestige and exceptional range of event spaces.

With an extensive portfolio that includes conference suites, theatres, cinemas, concert halls and the stunning Barbican Conservatory, the venue can accommodate everything from large-scale conferences and exhibitions to award ceremonies, product launches and drinks receptions. Backed by state-of-the-art technical facilities, in-house catering and a dedicated events team, the Barbican Events Centre delivers a seamless and memorable experience for high-impact events in London.

The heart of the Barbican’s banqueting facility, the spectacular Conservatory, is quite spectacular. This lush, tropical oasis is home to finches, quails, exotic fish and over 2,000 species of tropical plants and trees.

The renowned Barbican Hall plays host to events ranging from university graduations to AGM’s as well as international orchestras and performers and can accommodate up to 1943 guests. For slightly more compact events, Barbican Theatre, with its excellent acoustics and production facilities, makes an ideal venue for product launches and seminars.

The Barbican also offers a range of conference facilities for smaller events ranging in capacity from 10 to 280 delegates. Seating from 153 to 280 delegates, the three Barbican cinemas are well-appointed comfortable auditoriums suitable for the most sophisticated presentation. In addition, seven smaller conference suites can be used for board meetings or used as syndicate spaces for larger events.
