About Southbank Centre

Every year we welcome over 5,000 events through our doors at Southbank Centre, the UK's largest arts centre stretching along the River Thames. Since 1951, our spaces have witnessed everything from groundbreaking product launches to intimate wedding celebrations, board meetings to international conferences. Our venue portfolio spans four distinct buildings. The Royal Festival Hall accommodates major conferences and ceremonies with its grand auditorium, while Queen Elizabeth Hall provides a more contemporary setting for presentations and gatherings. For smaller meetings or receptions, the Purcell Room offers an intimate atmosphere. The Hayward Gallery brings a creative edge to corporate events with its striking architectural spaces. We've designed our facilities to work for both cultural programming and private hire. During the day, you might find resident orchestras rehearsing in one space while a company hosts their AGM next door. Our rooms transform easily from morning conferences to evening receptions, with full technical support and catering options throughout the building. The rooftop garden above Queen Elizabeth Hall has become particularly popular for drinks receptions and summer parties, offering views across the Thames. Throughout the centre, our cafes, bars and restaurants provide convenient catering solutions, from working lunches to formal dinners. We've invested heavily in accessibility, ensuring all our spaces and facilities accommodate every guest comfortably. Our events team regularly handles graduations, product launches, annual meetings and wedding receptions alongside our arts programming. The combination of riverside location, flexible spaces, and our experience managing diverse events means we can adapt each room to match your specific requirements. Whether you need theatre-style seating for 2,500 or a cocktail space for 50, we have options across our four venues to suit your event.
