THE ENERGY HALL
Linking together the past and present of Britain's engineering achievements since the Industrial Revolution, this engaging gallery is perfect for drinks receptions and can accommodate anything from 100 to 600 guests. The centrepiece to this gallery is the 1903 Harle Syke Mill engine, which can be operational during events. The Energy Hall also offers unique branding opportunities, including the eight metre high Energy Ring dramatically suspended in the atrium, which can be used to captivate guests with a welcome message transmitted using kinetic LED energy and the colour phasing roof which can be set to a specific corporate colour.
Capacity for receptions 600
MAKING THE MODERN WORLD
For corporate dinners or receptions, the spectacular Making the Modern World gallery charts the timeline and documents the invention of the icons which formed modern society. From the Apollo 10 command module, scorched and battered from its 1969 moon mission, to the world's most famous steam engine, Stephenson's 'Rocket' and the Lockheed 10A Electra aircraft that first flew in 1934 and helped revolutionise air transport, Making the Modern World offers an engaging backdrop that is guaranteed to awe and inspire for truly memorable events.
Capacity - Receptions 750, Dining 430
WELLCOME WING
The Science Museum's most contemporary event space offers three breathtaking galleries situated in front of an immense blue glass wall.
In the ground floor gallery, which can accommodate dinners for up to 350 or receptions for 600, guests can take a close look at Mika Hakkinen's McLaren Mercedes F1 car, a changing Antenna exhibition programme devoted to science and technology news, or experience the motion-ride simulator or IMAX cinema.
The whole wing can cater for major receptions in excess of 1000 guests. Individually, the upper levels offer varying capacities for receptions or intimate dinners. By virtue of its award-winning design, futuristic ambience and innovative interactive elements, the Wellcome Wing is the definitive venue for any forward-thinking company.
Capacity Ground floor - Reception 600, Dinner Dance 350
FLIGHT GALLERY
Dine under Amy Johnson's 'Gipsy Moth', or Alcock and Brown's Vickers Vimy - the first aeroplane to cross the Atlantic and other icons of aviation history. Guests can soak up the ambience of this spectacular gallery, and for a unique post-dinner experience, the adjacent simulator can provide a variety of thrilling rides.
Capacity - Receptions 500, Dining 500, Dinner Dance 350
EXPLORING SPACE
The Exploring Space gallery contains a fantastic collection of rockets, satellites, space probes and landers. Guests can find out how the space age started in 1957 with the launch of Sputnik 1 and how we've gone on to launch thousands of satellites around Earth, send spacecraft to other planets, walk on our Moon and peer into the heart of our galaxy and beyond. With two real space rockets overhead: one a British Black Arrow, the other a United States Scout and a whole host of genuine and replica space exploration artefacts on display, choose the Exploring Space gallery for corporate events that are'out of this world'.
Capacity - Receptions 250
LAUNCH PAD
Launchpad has been re-located, re-furbished and dramatically re-invented. Divided into six zones - Light; Materials; Energy Transfer; Sound; Forces & Motion and Electricity & Magnetism, new Launchpad is packed with over 50 interactive exhibits, electrifying shows and lively demos. For corporate events with a difference, Launchpad is an engaging venue for team building, staff incentive events and contemporary receptions.
Invite guests to trap their own shadow, launch a hydrogen rocket, spin like a skater or discover which bits of their body are hot on a thermal imaging camera.
