Virtual Tour

We realise it’s not always possible to make it in for a site visit. So we’ve put together an interactive tour of all our spaces, simply ‘walk-through’ the venue or select the space you’d like to see from the images at the bottom.

Our team of event professionals are all based on-site at the venue and are here to ensure your event is the very best it can be.

Rebecca Harris

Business Development Director

Rebecca Harris oversees all current and new events business at Kings Place. Rebecca joined us in 2016 from Fisher Productions where she headed up a large venue production team creating and producing events in some of London’s most iconic venues.

Having moved to London from Brighton nearly 20 years ago, her experience covers sales, marketing and event management within luxury hotels, catering, venue and agency environments.  Rebecca’s varied experience within the events industry means that she is able to view events from all perspectives and ensure that clients receive the best possible experience while at Kings Place.

When not at work, she’s usually checking out new restaurants or burning off the calories at a yoga class.

Rachael Hulme

Head of Events

Rachael joined Kings Place Events in 2008 when the building had just opened and hasn’t looked back since – her knowledge of the venue is impeccable and her dedication to delivering memorable events for her clients is visible to all who work with her.

Originally from Northumberland, Rachael studied Hospitality Management at Newcastle college. She then set her sights on something further afield and travelled to Chicago for six months to work at a 5 star Marriott Hotel and Resort, she loved the USA so much that she moved back, this time to Baltimore.

On her return to the UK she worked for Marriot again, starting as a Restaurant Supervisor and working her way up to Event Manager.

True to her roots, her favourite restaurant is in Newcastle and her favourite holiday destination is Boston.

Jemima Fiennes

Events Sales Manager

Jemima’s favourite part of her job is always finding a way to make an event personal, whether that be through a themed cocktail to match a company’s brand colour scheme, or tailoring a wedding menu to reflect a couple’s favourite travel destination.

She moved to London in 2021, on completion of her 3 year course in Events & Festival Management at Bath Spa University. Before joining Kings Place Events, she started her career working at Rhubarb, running private birthday parties and then expanded her events repertoire to large corporate receptions and weddings. Jemima has had the privilege of hosting events in some of London’s famous landmarks such as the Natural History Museum, Kensington Palace, the Royal Academy of Arts, and many more. She has also worked closely with a range of high-profile clients and events.

Outside of work Jemima enjoys travelling, and has been to many European destinations, her favourite memory being when she went to Rome on a singing scholarship and sang in some of the world’s most beautiful venues including the Vatican and the Pantheon. This is just one of the reasons why she loves working at Kings Place, as she is surrounded by beautiful auditoriums, talented musicians, artists, comedians, and lecturers.

CSER & Sustainability

At Kings Place, we ensure sustainability is at the forefront of what we do.

Our CSER strategy incorporates internal initiatives such as sustainable sourcing, zero waste targets, biodegradable disposables and healthy eating.

Our Corneyside Farm in Northumberland, which supplies all the beef and lamb in our menus allows us complete visibility of the farm to fork process. Beef and lamb is also hung on-site in our own hanging room before being prepared by our butcher.

This building itself is built with sustainability in mind and has achieved the highest BREEAM operational sustainability rating for property management.

Award Winning Venue

Our success has seen us recognised with countless industry accolades over the years, for our catering, service and venue.  Most recently, in October 2023 we were named Caterer of the Year at both the London Venue and Catering Awards and the Foodservice Cateys, where we were also crowned Bespoke Caterer of the Year.
