Natural History Museum expands central hall

David Quainton, 12 November 2009

The Natural History Museum has increased the capacity of its central hall, featuring the iconic diplodocus, so that it can hold 50 extra diners at seated events.

The additional space, increasing capcity to 700, is a result of a change in exhibitions within the archways in Central Hall, which effectively creates more floor space.

Separately, the venue has launched an improved website providing more information on the experienced events team at the Museum and additional details of the Museum's environmental policy and award wins. It will also include event imagery for the first time.

"We have frequently been asked by our clients to accommodate larger numbers in Central Hall and we are delighted to now offer this, especially just before the Christmas period when an increased floor space is often welcome," said Natural History Museum head of events and catering Zoe Watts.
