Planning Your Corporate Event: Practical Considerations

Getting Started

Begin your corporate event planning by contacting our experienced events team. We'll discuss your objectives, expected attendance, preferred dates, and specific requirements. An initial conversation helps us understand your vision and recommend the most suitable spaces and configurations for your needs.

Site Visits

We strongly encourage site visits before booking. Seeing our spaces firsthand helps you visualise your event layout, assess technical capabilities, and ask detailed questions about logistics. Our team can arrange convenient viewing times and provide guidance on optimal space utilisation for your specific event type.

Booking Timeline

For large events and peak seasons, we recommend booking 6-12 months in advance. Corporate events and smaller gatherings can often be accommodated within a few weeks notice, though earlier booking ensures better availability and preferred rates.
