Frequently Asked Questions
What is the venue hire cost for The Gallery and Ante Room for business events?
The Gallery and Ante Room costs £5,000 + VAT for venue hire, which includes security and cleaning for the live event. Access times are 07:00 – 23:00, with a late license available until 2am for an additional cost (not included in venue hire).
What are the capacity limits for different event formats in The Gallery?
The Gallery can accommodate 180 ceremony style, 300 reception standing, or 180 seated for dinner. The space features high ceilings, intricate architectural details, and abundant natural light, making it suitable for presentations, conferences, and dinners.
What catering options are available and who provides them?
60 Great Queen Street works exclusively with Moving Venue, London's leading heritage venue caterer. They provide comprehensive catering packages including conference packages with pastries on arrival, refreshment breaks, lunch, and drinks receptions, with prices varying based on guest numbers and requirements.
What are the standard access times and what are the costs for extended hours?
Standard access times are 07:00 – 23:00 daily. A late license is available until 2am for an additional £750 per hour, but this is not included in the base venue hire cost.
What AV equipment and technical facilities are included with the venue?
The Grand Temple has no built-in AV equipment, so everything must be brought in by external suppliers. The venue provides a list of recommended event partners who can quote for required technical equipment including screens, microphones, PA systems, and lighting.
Are there any restrictions on the types of events that can be held?
Due to venue licensing terms, concerts are not permitted at 60 Great Queen Street. Musical theatre productions and other live performances may be considered, but the venue cannot accommodate events requiring concert-style licensing.
What additional spaces are included when booking The Gallery and Ante Room?
When booking The Gallery and Ante Room, you get access to the Tower Doors entrance, the Grade II listed cloakroom, and The Long Room. The Ante Room connects seamlessly to The Gallery and works perfectly for networking and drinks receptions before main events.
What is the maximum capacity the venue can accommodate across all spaces?
The venue can accommodate a maximum of 1,300 guests for standing events across multiple rooms. Individual spaces have lower capacities, with The Grand Temple holding up to 1,350 in fixed seating, but this requires using multiple spaces throughout the venue.
How far in advance should events be booked and what is the booking process?
The venue recommends booking as early as possible, especially for peak periods like December which has Christmas installations that may not work for certain events. Site visits are highly recommended as the scale and atmosphere must be experienced in person to fully appreciate the venue.
What are the contact details for making enquiries and bookings?
For enquiries, contact Laura Wilson, Event Sales Manager at 0207 438 2032, or reach out via enquiries@smartgroupltd.co.uk or christmas@smartgroupltd.co.uk for Christmas events. The venue is managed by Smart Group Ltd.
