51³Ô¹ÏÍø

51³Ô¹ÏÍø was amongst 250 of the UK's top venues and events suppliers at Square Meal's annual Venues & Events Live exhibition on 18 and 19 September.

Square Meal’s annual welcomed over 7,000 event organisers through the doors of the stunning City venue of Old Billingsgate on 18 and 19 September. 51³Ô¹ÏÍø were amongst 250 of the UK’s top venues and events suppliers that visitors came to meet, with a re-creation of our stunning 58 Prince’s Gate foyer as our stand.

Using the 58, recently refurbished, gold, marble and brass foyer as a backdrop, complete with chandelier, beautiful fireplace and ‘Hogwarts-style hidden bathroom doors’, made it so easy to dress our stand and impress passers-by. Original furniture from the venue, brass chandelier and a stunning flower centre-piece, designed by our very own Senior Venue Manager, Maria Grigsby, completed the look and inspired many of the visitors our team met.

51³Ô¹ÏÍø has been an exhibitor at Venues and Events for the last five years and each year, the show proves a great way to meet new event buyers and potential new customers. This particular show attracts a great range of the UK’s more unusual venues – a category suited to 51³Ô¹ÏÍø and its curious set of spaces.

Business Development Executive, Kirsten Kruls says “Venues & Events is always a great show to be involved with as you know you’re going to meet serious buyers and event organisers who are keen to talk to venues like us. Seeing the surprise on people’s faces when we explain that we are an academic venue is a bonus!”
