The National Gallery has added to its collection of events spaces, with the launch ofย The Trafalgar Room, formerly known as the National Dining Room. As one of the venueโs long-standing approved suppliers for events, technical solutions specialist White Light (WL) will provide the AV services, as part of an exclusive partnership.
The first-floor space can host capacities ranging from 20 โ 300 pax and offers a stunning panorama of Trafalgar Square and its historical monuments.ย With an abundance of natural daylight, the versatility of this blank canvas setting offers planners numerous options for hosting a range of different event formats.
As dedicated production partner for The Trafalgar Room, WL has designed a flexible technical production solution, drawing on over 20 yearsโ expertise as an accredited supplier to Londonโs most iconic venues. With a bespokeย lighting, audio and video systemย tailored specifically to enhance the space, the basic package includes everything a conference and event organiser needs to maximise their eventโs potential. The AV solution has also been designed to facilitate the seamless delivery of both hybrid and live events. All bookings are fully supported by WLโs onsite team of technical venue experts.
In line with the National Galleryโs official Visit England certification as a COVID-secure venue, all measures required have been taken to enable The Trafalgar Room to facilitate a safe return for live meetings and events in the wake of the pandemic. To adapt to the new normal events world where digital delivery will play a crucial role,ย WL is fully equipped to support the full spectrum of clientsโ digital requirements. This will enable planners to utilise the true potential of the new events space, the wider venue, and the widest audience.
WLโs Senior Project Manager Jason Larcombe offered: โWe are delighted to be adding The Trafalgar Room to our prestigious portfolio of in-house managed venues, which includes Central Hall Westminster and Illuminate at the Science Museum.
