Why choose Banqueting House for multi-day events
Banqueting House turns consecutive-day agendas into cultural experiences. Your delegates
arrive to soaring Ionic columns and a Baroque masterpiece by Sir Peter Paul Rubens; they
leave with a story they’ll keep retelling. The venue’s scale and service model are built for
multi-day events- think conferences, leadership summits, AGMs, fashion showcases, and
brand experiences that deserve time to breathe.
Key advantages:
● Two versatile spaces (Main Hall + Undercroft) for plenary, breakouts, and hospitality
flow.
● Robust capacities: up to 400 theatre or 280 cabaret in the Main Hall; up to 350
standing in the Undercroft (drinks).
● Consecutive-day access with large-scale builds and late finishes (extensions to 1
a.m.).
What multi-day looks like here
Consecutive-day access means smarter builds, better flow and stronger stories: plenary in
the Main Hall, partner showcases in the Undercroft, and evenings that feel celebratory rather
than rushed - right in the heart of London.
Time extensions available to 1 a.m., subject to schedule.
We beautifully host multi-day formats:
● Leadership Summits & AGMs
● Product & Fashion Showcases (with dressing, catwalk, or set build)
● Thought-Leadership Conferences (plenary + curated breakouts)
● Tastings, Sampling & Hospitality Programmes
● International Delegation Programmes (daytime content → evening receptions)
We had a fabulous evening at Banqueting House. The venue is simply stunning and the events team helped us to envisage what our event could be. They assisted in executing a very successful evening. We hope to return one day.

The Undercroft
Once the setting for celebrations enjoyed by James I and his companions, the Undercroft makes a more intimate counterpart to the imposing Main Hall.
This atmospheric space has charm and character in abundance, and the cosy arches and rich acoustics make it a perfect setting for away days, meetings and conferences.
