The Gallery

In February 2022, the renowned British-Nigerian artist Yinka Shonibare CBE RA, and project architect India Mahdavi transformed the Gallery with a new installation of artworks and interiors. Shonibare’s artist-conceived vision presented a new sunshine-yellow setting designed by Mahdavi, marking a new culture-definingchapter for sketch in its 20th year.

Using applique and embroidery techniques on richly dyed fabrics, Shonibare illuminates the influence of African traditions on European conceptions of our modern-day world. Indulge in the refined ambiance of the gastro-brasserie for an elegant private dining experience for larger groups

The Glade

The Glade, designed by Mourad Mazouz in collaboration with artists Carolyn Quartermaine and Didier Mahieu, is an artwork in decoupage: a landscape forest inspired by a 1900s greeting card. Every piece of furniture is uniquely hand-crafted by a team of artisans.

After the success of Lucy Vail Floristry’s 2024 Christmas display, the forest canopy became a permanent fixture; an elegant blend of gilded oak leaves and foliage that brings year-round natural beauty to the space. The enchanted room provides a beautiful setting for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

The Parlour

Designed in early 2018 by Mourad Mazouz and Andres Ros Soto, the Parlour has an eclectic yet luxurious feel, with playful fabrics and comfortable banquettes. The lighting evokes a neo-nineties atmosphere, with bespoke neon brightening the clear glass tables and gold walls.

A perfect setting for those looking for a memorable evening reception.

nightlife experience for the sketch audience. The bar has a bright white exterior like the Pods, with the darkened interior and lowered bar creating a more private and secluded mood for an evening reception.

GKN Aerospace

Since 2018, Venues All Areas & The Events Architect have organised our events, each for between 300 and 500 staff. Quite simply, they have all been a phenomenal success. Our Summer Party now runs over three days, involving everything from marquees, refined catering, smart sleeping tents, bands, and a myriad of other activities (even ice cream vans!). Our Christmas Party is traditional black tie, which they somehow also make special and out of the ordinary. They challenge themselves to go above and beyond, and they SUCCEED, whilst keeping within the all-important budget!

Group Events Manager HSBC

Victoria at The Events Architect took all the stress out of event planning for one of the biggest events in the Officers Mess calendar. The decorations and entertainment were phenomenal, funny and daring and tied in perfectly with our theme and audience. Having already got the venue, Victoria was able to craft a vision that fit the space perfectly and she was also extremely adaptable to short notice requests. It was a fantastic party and I could not recommend her enough.
