Royal Museums Greenwich - Cutty Sark

Prepare for an extraordinary event experience in a place that's truly iconic and brimming with captivating history – the Royal Museums Greenwich - Cutty Sark. This isn't just any venue; it's a magnificent ship with an unmistakable "wow factor." It proudly won the award for Best Christmas Party Venue in the Prestigious Venues Star Awards 2024! The Cutty Sark is renowned across the globe as a legendary queen of the seas from 1869, built for the thrilling race to carry tea back from China. She sailed through treacherous waters and bravely conquered the high seas. Today, she rests gracefully by the historic River Thames in Greenwich, a place honoured as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. From this prime location, you are treated to breathtaking, sweeping views looking across the river towards the dazzling London city skyline. Unforgettable Spaces Aboard a Masterpiece: Hosting your event on Cutty Sark is a truly exclusive and unforgettable experience, with superb and distinct locations just for you in the evening. The most awe-inspiring space is the Dry Berth. This is the vast area directly beneath the ship's gleaming copper bottom, held dramatically aloft. It's a spectacular setting for grand receptions hosting up to 450 guests standing, or elegant dinners with seating for up to 250 guests. It's also a dynamic backdrop for impactful product launches. Inside the ship, the 'Tween Deck is steeped in history, where precious cargo was once carried. It still holds its authentic feel and offers a charming space for more intimate, cosy dinners for about 60 people seated or vibrant standing parties for up to 100. Up top, the Weather Deck is the open-air main deck. It's a perfect spot for hosting stunning sunset reception drinks with space for about 130 people standing, offering unrivalled views of London right among the ship's towering masts. For a truly private gathering, the Master's Saloon is a small, intimate room ideal for exclusive private dining with seating for about 10 guests. The main Dry Berth area is impressively large, about 633 square metres, and the other spaces add even more remarkable and unique options throughout this magnificent vessel.
