Frequently Asked Questions
What are the pricing options for corporate events at Ministry of Sound?
Film shoots are priced at £5,500 for 12 hours or £8,500 for 24 hours, with additional hours at £600 per hour. Security is mandatory for all events and will be added to these costs. For other corporate events, pricing varies based on requirements and minimum spend arrangements may apply.
What days of the week is Ministry of Sound available for private corporate bookings?
Ministry of Sound runs club nights on Fridays and Saturdays and is not available for private hire on these days. Corporate events can be booked Sunday through Thursday, with full availability on these days.
What type of events does the Corporate Events Team handle versus the Club team?
The Corporate Events Team exclusively handles private corporate bookings, conferences, product launches, and business events. For ticketed public events, club nights, or promotional events open to the public, you must contact the Club team directly through the Ministry of Sound website.
Are there special summer offers available for corporate events?
Yes, Ministry of Sound offers complimentary venue hire for July and August event dates with a guaranteed minimum bar spend requirement. This summer promotion eliminates the usual hire fee, but you must meet the minimum spend behind the bar.
What security requirements are mandatory for all events?
Security is mandatory for all events at Ministry of Sound and will be added to your total costs. The exact number of security staff and hourly rates depend on your event size and duration, and these costs are discussed during the booking process.
How far in advance should I book for Christmas corporate events?
Christmas bookings for December events should be made by summer, as the best dates typically sell out early. The venue is already taking Christmas 2025 bookings and expects to sell out faster than previous years due to recent venue upgrades.
What venue upgrades have been made for corporate events?
The VIP area at Ministry of Sound is undergoing a complete transformation with enhanced sound systems, tailored lighting, and new layouts designed for maximum atmosphere. These upgrades are specifically designed to elevate corporate events and brand takeovers.
Can I bring my own equipment or vendors for corporate events?
You can provide your own equipment, such as pianos, provided they can fit through the loading doors. The venue can measure access points if needed to confirm equipment compatibility. Catering teams can also be arranged by you or provided by the venue.
What is the contact information for booking corporate events?
Contact the Corporate Events Team at +442077408682 for general events inquiries. Key contacts include Diana Varadi (Head of Sales) at +442077408687, Louis Constantine (Private Hire Sales Manager) at +442077408618, and Laura De Carli (Sales Manager) at +442077408621.
What happens if my event doesn't fit the corporate booking criteria?
If your event is a ticketed public event, club night, or doesn't meet corporate booking requirements, the Corporate Events Team will decline and direct you to find an alternative venue. They specifically handle private corporate events only and cannot assist with public or club-style events.
