Broadway House at Make Venues has achieved its best returns on record from Westminster Venue Collection membership, bolstered by New Business Development Manager Paul Martins joining the Board.

“Our Westminster Venue Collection membership offers plenty of knowledge-sharing opportunities and PR coverage for value. Significantly, we are also presented with 3 main channels for return of investment – through website enquiries, referrals and expos.

So we’re excited for the upcoming showcase and proud to record securing £9k of business from the WVC stand at the Meetings Show on its face-to-face return last year. This requires engagement and follow-up, but these results for Broadway House leads us to making membership successful.” – Paul Martins, Broadway House at Make Venues.

Broadway House is a very popular choice for ministerial meetings and press conferences. In fact, it is directly opposite St James’ Park tube station, and a ten minute walk from Victoria, Waterloo and Charing Cross – so it couldn’t be any more convenient for City meetings!

Inside, it has a distinctly modern feel; the technology throughout is state-of-the-art and like all Make UK conference venues, the standard of service is warm and friendly, yet uncompromisingly efficient. Broadway House is AIM accredited and a Venue of Excellence – the highest measure of quality within the conference venue sector. 20 meeting rooms and tailored packages for up to 120 delegates.

The Mall Room and Lecture Room at {10-11} Carlton House Terrace are getting refurbed!

“We’ve worked with a specialist carpet company to add a luxe feel to two of our favourite rooms, The Mall and Lecture Rooms. The bespoke carpet designs were inspired by the intricate ceilings in each space, and the deep emerald carpet colour with gold accents reinstate the grandeur and history of 10 Carlton House Terrace which was formally one of London’s grandest homes.. We hope that these new carpets will enhance the event experience, particularly for lunches, dinners and receptions.” – Amie Murphy, Venue Business Development and Marketing Manager.

If you’re looking for a room with a view, then The Mall and Lecture Rooms are the perfect setting to impress your guests. The aptly named Mall Room overlooks St James’s Park, Horse Guards Parade and the London Eye and the Lecture Room is the only room at {10-11} with a painted ceiling in the trompe-l’œil style – both give a real sense of place to any event.

Innovative and creative adaptation of our facilities and a pro-active way of finding solutions have secured new and exciting exhibitions for the multi-purpose venue. Of course, this ripple-effect extends to the Westminster community in which we operate and the wider London build-back for events, which is a huge benefit to the industry”.
