Contact the events team: hires@geffrye-museum.org.uk 020 7749 6053 www.geffrye-museum.org.uk/aboutus/hire/ The Geffrye Museum explores the theme of home. Located in Hoxton, the Geffrye is a heritage building nestled in a trendy central-east London neighbourhood, making it ideal for a broad range of events: drinks receptions, brand engagement, away days, large-scale dining, performances, workshops, cinema and festivals. Our expansive front lawns offer a blank-canvas outdoor venue, and an incredibly rare green space so close to the City. Shaded by impressive London Plane trees and set against the backdrop of Grade I listed almshouses, this is a unique space with which to make a real impression. The museum is currently undergoing an 18 million development project, which limits the hireable indoor spaces in the short term; however, our elegant panelled Georgian room is open throughout, ideal for private screenings, intimate dinners, business meetings and talks. New, dedicated event spaces will open from 2020. photography Jayne Lloyd Our experienced events team will provide invaluable assistance in the planning and delivery of your event, with support from our specialist catering and production partners.
