2 Eventim Apollo Hammersmith A LEGENDARY ART DECO VENUE IN THE HEART OF LONDON

3 02 Eventim Apollo Hammersmith 03 The Eventim Apollo is an event space with a difference. State-of-the-art facilities to accommodate your product launch, wedding or fashion show come as standard. What sets us apart from the crowd is a unique cultural heritage. Originally opened in 1932 as the Gaumont Palace Cinema, we are one of the best-preserved original theatres and most famous live music and entertainment venues in London. In 2013 the full Art Deco glory of our grade II listed building was restored after a multi-million pound investment. Now you can have your event on the stage where Bowie killed Ziggy. Bush made her comeback. And AC/DC fired their canons. All you have to do is get in touch.

4 04 Eventim Apollo Hammersmith 05 AUDITORIUM The auditorium provides a stunning backdrop to any event. Originally designed as an Art Deco cinema, this versatile space seamlessly fuses high-tech sound and lighting with 1932 grandeur. The plasterwork and cornicing is a work of art but it s the fully operational Compton pipe organ that really steals the show. ROOMS TO MANOEUVRE With a variety of formats available for hire, the Eventim Apollo caters to events of all types and size. Simply choose the option that best suits your needs or get in touch to find out more.

HIT THE ROAD, JACK I had the great pleasure of working with Sarah and Heiko on a complex event for my client, Electronic Arts. To add to the complexity, I am based in California but there was never a delay in their response to any inquiry and the planning process was incredibly smooth. Their entire Corporate events team is top notch, very accommodating and the event went off without a hitch! I would absolutely return to the Eventim Apollo again on any future opportunity. Nyla Comisso - Plumbago Productions Whether you re coming by car, tube or bus the Eventim Apollo is easy to get to and from at any time of the day or night. Just follow these handy instructions.

12 20 Eventim Apollo Hammersmith 21 Working with the team at the Apollo has been an absolute joy. Every part of the process from the planning stage to the event itself happened without a hitch. Everyone from the venue manager and the technical team to the bar staff and security were professional, helpful, courteous, polite and friendly. All costs were clear and transparent and clearly explained so there were no unpleasant surprises and this made for easy budgeting of our event. On the day the staff were keen to help in any way that they could a total pleasure all round! Thank-you team Apollo... Sarah Rushton-Read Knight of Illumination We had a really great experience bringing the Event Awards to the Eventim Apollo. Our audience of event professionals are notoriously hard to please, and being in such an iconic venue for our annual awards was a truly unique experience. The Apollo team were always on hand to help and advise on the best ways to use the space. We are very excited to return again! Liz Clayton EVENT Awards
