Spring is nearly here and we’re ready to bring your events to life 🌸 Stylish spaces, built-in AV and total privacy make the Smith Centre a natural hub for ideas. Plus, when the sun shows up, the courtyard is perfect for fresh-air networking!

Illuminate: from blank canvas to full festive takeover✨ This before and after transformation shows just how versatile Illuminate can be - evolving from a blank canvas space into a two level celebration brought to life through creativity, collaboration and incredible production.

We’re dreaming of warmer evenings, open air chats and that summer buzz at the Smith Centre. Hidden away with its own private courtyard, this space is made for summer vibes: sunshine filled receptions, doors wide open, and celebrations that drift between indoors and out ☀️

Transforming a gallery shaped by airflow and mathematical beauty into the perfect reception is a special kind of magic. From bar setup and lighting to those final finishing touches, here’s a glimpse into how we brought to life this event in Mathematics: The Winton Gallery.

✨ Your event. Their future. Host with us and help inspire millions of young minds. Every booking fuels free entry, STEM learning, world‑class exhibitions and vital research. A brilliant event with real impact - all under one roof. #eventprofs

Netskope brought their event to life across two of our event spaces, mixing learning, networking and a touch of nostalgia. The Smith Centre hosted the presentations before canapés on the Courtyard followed by exclusive use of Power Up, our interactive gaming gallery!

🪩 Illuminate, activated! Here’s your backstage pass to With Intelligence’s Christmas party - a double‑level transformation featuring skyline views, live entertainment and a party setup that took Illuminate to the next level! #eventprofs

For Imperial Enterprise Lab’s Venture Catalyst Challenge Final, the venue choice was all about alignment - innovation meeting innovation. IMAX: The Ronson Theatre set the scene for high‑stakes pitching before teams showcased their ventures beneath historic aircrafts in Flight.

Level up your next team social! If you’re looking for a night out that gets everyone talking, laughing and maybe just a little competitive, Power Up is the place to be. Dive into retro favourites, multiplayer battles and cutting‑edge VR in our ultimate gaming playground.

It’s time to start planning those summer socials - and we know just where to host them! The Smith Centre is your private summer escape: a gorgeous courtyard for drinks and relaxed dinners, paired with historic rooms that take you from daytime meetings to evening celebrations ☀️🍸

Illuminate is all about bright open spaces, skyline views and that instant ‘wow’. Flooded with natural light by day and glowing with colour by night, it makes any event feel special. Think London skyline views, flexible layouts, and lighting that can change the mood with one tap.

Host your event in one of our most iconic spaces before it transforms! Making the Modern World will close in the summer as part of the redevelopment of our ground floor galleries. Now is the perfect time to enjoy access to this landmark space before the next chapter begins!
