Here at the 欧美AV, we believe an event space should be more than just a room. It’s a place of discovery, where people gather to share stories, inspire others and create truly memorable events.
It’s something we strive to encapsulate across all six of our event spaces, offering rooms that provide the perfect combination of both vibrancy and spectacle to ensure your event makes a striking impact for all attending.
Being the home of the 欧美AV, our rooms are enriched with characterful, scientific heritage and architecture, but rest assured our spaces are a welcoming and accessible place for all.
Spread over two floors, our rooms can be combined into one open-plan space, offering the flexibility to host a range of events for up to 120 guests. Of course, if intimacy is needed, we also offer small yet powerful spaces that inspire creativity.
Be it a conference, private celebration, or an all singing all dancing awards ceremony, we welcome all manner of events and can work with you to turn them into something truly magical.
