Cor­po­rate events in Lon­don – how to cre­ate a mem­o­rable night

One of the best things about host­ing a cor­po­rate event in Lon­don, is the sheer depth of choice – excel­lent acces­si­bil­i­ty for guests, a diverse choice of cui­sine choic­es and a cul­tur­al rich­ness which is hard to match. This range of choice is espe­cial­ly true when it comes to enter­tain­ment, arguably one of the best ways to make sure the event is spo­ken about for weeks or even months after­wards. In the best pos­si­ble way, of course!

So how do you use enter­tain­ment to ensure your cor­po­rate event is suc­cess­ful? In a pre­vi­ous blog we touched on ways that cor­po­rate enter­tain­ment can help ele­vate your brand – but we’re tak­ing things a step fur­ther here and look­ing at enter­tain­ment and ideas specif­i­cal­ly for cor­po­rate events in London.

Cor­po­rate enter­tain­ing ideas on your doorstep

In addi­tion to being known for its high street shop­ping and depth of his­tor­i­cal tourist sites, Lon­don is best known for its West End shows. Use that dra­ma, feel­ing and emo­tion in your own cor­po­rate event by choos­ing per­form­ers that embody that. Whether that is a sol­id par­ty band, cir­cus per­form­ers or string quar­tet, choose the act that will best ele­vate your theme and objec­tives for the event.

Match your cor­po­rate enter­tain­ment with your venue

Hold­ing a cor­po­rate event in such a his­toric place also means you’re spoilt for choice when it comes to venue selec­tion. You can go old school with posh hotel ball­room, quirky with an event in the Dock­side Vaults, or sophis­ti­cat­ed with a soirée in the Nat­ur­al His­to­ry Muse­um. Again, the key here is match­ing your enter­tain­ment to the venue. An acro­bat might be out of place at the muse­um, but is the per­fect fit for an under­ground venue like the Vaults.

Con­sid­er cor­po­rate event enter­tain­ment trends

Lon­don is always on trend so use that inno­v­a­tive spir­it to guide your next cor­po­rate event. Some of the lat­est trends in cor­po­rate enter­tain­ment include immer­sive expe­ri­ences – some­thing that seems to be tai­lor made for a Lon­don event; a focus on sus­tain­abil­i­ty and eco-friend­ly ideas that meet both your ESG goals and event objec­tives; and incor­po­rat­ing more tech­nol­o­gy to make cor­po­rate enter­tain­ment that much more…entertaining, with the use of AI and holo­graph­ic tech­nol­o­gy adding rich­ness and interest.

While enter­tain­ment can make a cor­po­rate event mem­o­rable, you want it to be for the right rea­sons.
