Barbican Conference Centre

About the venue

Located in the heart of the City of London, the Barbican is Europe’s largest Arts & Conference Centre, offering a wealth of conference, exhibition and banqueting space.

The renowned Barbican Hall plays host to corporate events ranging from university graduations to AGM’s as well as international orchestras and performers and can accommodate up to 1943 guests. For slightly more compact events, Barbican Theatre, with its excellent acoustics and production facilities, makes an ideal venue for product launches and seminars. The Barbican also offers a range of conference facilities for smaller events ranging in capacity from 10 to 280 delegates. Seating from 153 to 280 delegates, the three Barbican cinemas are well-appointed comfortable auditoriums suitable for the most sophisticated presentation. In addition, seven smaller conference suites can be used for board meetings or used as syndicate spaces for larger events. Entertaining is something the Barbican does rather well. Corporate hospitality packages are available where a visit to a performance or exhibition is followed by drinks and/or dinner in our conservatory and garden room. A tropical, indoor oasis, the conservatory is home to over 2,000 species of plants, quails, finches and koi carp and offers a unique venue within the City. Combined with the garden room, with its wood paneling and stunning views, these areas make an ideal venue for receptions, private dining and weddings. In addition to these facilities, adjoining the centre are two exhibition halls offering over 8000m sq of exhibition space. The Barbican offers over 450 parking spaces on site and has excellent road, rail and underground links connecting to central London, major motorways and airports.
