It may seem like the heart of winter, but spring is on the way! Soon, the snowdrops will be poking through the earth and our winter coats will be gathering dust in our closets. Which means… time to get thinking about this year’s summer party venue!

Whether you’re planning a fancy drinks reception or a unique private dining experience, we’ve got just the venue for you. It’s big, it’s bold, it’s beautiful… it’s The National Gallery! Here’s why their Portico Terrace is perfect for your summer shindig.

The views

What better view could you hope for than the iconic Trafalgar Square? As tourists climb the lion statues and snap pictures of Nelson’s column, you’ll get to gaze upon this world-renowned site while leisurely sipping a G&T. That’s exclusivity right there!

The grandeur

Nothing says grandeur like a set of columns. And you know those eight Corinthian ones at the front of The National Gallery building? That’s exactly where you could unwind with your guests. Imagine approaching this historical building in your finery and pointing out your exclusive party venue to your colleagues!

It showcases work from some of the world’s greatest artists, including Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and Vincent van Gogh.
