Production partner tender

We’re opening our new home at Smithfield in 2026, which will operate alongside our existing Docklands site, and are on the lookout for a production partner who can help support a dynamic and high-profile programme of events.

  • A spacious indoor event hall with exposed brick walls, high ceilings, and large windows, filled with people socialising around tables and a bar area.

Our two spaces will host a wide range of events – our Smithfield site will be able to accommodate a busy schedule of large scale events, with dinners up to 700 guests and drinks receptions for up to 1500. Our Docklands site will continue to offer more intimate spaces for dinner up to 240 guests, whilst continuing to be available for larger scale receptions.

Alongside our corporate venue hire, London Museum will also deliver an exciting programme of internal events, music-led house parties and regular museum lates. Production plays a central role in shaping these experiences, and we're looking for a partner who can deliver consistently to a high standard within a unique heritage environment.
