Why Hire
Sadler’s Wells combines the impact of an internationally recognised cultural institution with a genuinely comprehensive commercial events operation. Its main auditorium provides the scale for conferences and presentations of up to 1,500 delegates, while the surrounding studios, meeting rooms and entertaining spaces allow smaller events or complex programmes requiring multiple breakout areas.
The range of formats is particularly strong. Organisers can move from a large theatre presentation to drinks on the Mezzanine, use the Dorfman Room for meetings or dinners, or create a more theatrical event within the Lilian Baylis Studio. Professional technical teams and in-house catering provide additional support throughout the event.
