A fresh alternative to hosting events in busy, expensive London

London is undoubtedly one of the most vibrant and diverse cities in the world. It's a hub of commerce, culture, and entertainment. With an abundance of world-class venues, hotels, and restaurants, it's no surprise that it's a popular destination for corporate events and conferences. However, hosting a conference, meeting or event in London isn't without its challenges.

One of the most significant limitations of hosting in London is the cost. The city is notoriously expensive, with high costs for accommodation, transportation, and dining. Venue hire fees can also be exorbitant, especially for top-tier venues in central locations. Additionally, navigating London's busy streets can be a logistical nightmare, especially during rush hour. Transporting equipment, materials, and staff to and from the venue can be a challenge, and traffic congestion can cause delays and disruptions.

But what if there was an alternative option to London that was easily accessible, affordable and flexible enough to suit every need from small meetings and seminars, to large corporate conferences and world-class events?

With Norwich’s excellent transport links, cheaper hotel prices, free parking and a wealth of rich and diverse culture - The Space is an ideal alternative for those traveling from across the UK. With Norwich International Airport and Norwich Train Station only 10 minutes drive away, The Space is accessible for delegates and hosts from across Europe and the two hour direct train journey from London Liverpool Street means it is potentially easier even for many living within the capital. 

The upside goes beyond travel though. With our variety of different sized rooms, level access throughout the venue and even the option of loading directly into the two largest spaces - The Space is perfect for everything from smaller, more intimate seminars and events, while larger conferences can utilise our grand Main Auditorium, or take over the whole venue for an immersive and bespoke event.
