About
Peacock Theatre
Peacock Theatre is a 1,000-seat theatre and events venue in the heart of London’s West End, operated by Sadler’s Wells. Located close to Holborn and the Strand, the theatre provides a substantial auditorium with tiered seating, professional production facilities and integrated AV for conferences, seminars, awards ceremonies, presentations and live performances.
Alongside its programme of dance, circus and physical theatre, Peacock Theatre is available for commercial hire and has previously hosted organisations including PwC, EMI and Granada Television. The combination of a large auditorium, professional technical team and central London location makes it particularly well suited to large-scale corporate presentations and conference-style events.
Event Spaces
Peacock Theatre Auditorium
The main auditorium provides tiered seating for up to 1,000 guests, offering excellent sightlines and a substantial stage for conferences, presentations, awards ceremonies, seminars and performances.
Fully integrated AV and professional technical support are available, allowing organisers to deliver large-scale presentations and technically demanding productions within an established West End theatre environment.
Theatre: 1,000

Facilities and Services
Peacock Theatre provides fully integrated AV and professional technical support, with Sadler’s Wells' experienced technical team available to support conferences, performances and other large-scale events. Sadler’s Wells also offers event management, catering and hybrid event support across its commercial events operation.
The theatre is particularly strong for auditorium-led events where organisers require professional staging, sound, lighting and presentation facilities rather than extensive flat-floor entertaining space.

Why Hire
Peacock Theatre provides something increasingly difficult to find in Central London: a large 1,000-seat auditorium within the West End that is actively available for corporate hire. Sadler’s Wells specifically markets the theatre for performances, conferences, seminars and awards ceremonies.
Its strength is very clearly auditorium-led events. For conferences, presentations, graduations and awards where every delegate needs a clear view of the stage, the tiered seating and professional theatrical infrastructure provide a ready-made environment without requiring organisers to build substantial staging or production from scratch.
