Hidden in one of London’s most iconic buildings lies a tropical paradise, and now, you can dine in it! The Barbican Conservatory, with its lush, exotic greenery has just launched a brand-new private dining experience in collaboration with renowned caterers Searcys. If you’re looking to wow guests at your next event, this is one way to do it! The Barbican Conservatory features  towering glass ceilings, tranquil water features, and over 1,500 species of tropical plants, which creates an atmosphere that feels more rainforest retreat than central London. It’s unexpected, enchanting, and now, it’s exclusively available for intimate dinners and elegant corporate gatherings.

Accommodating between 60 and 120 guests, the Conservatory’s new dining package offers a welcome escape from the ordinary. For £108 + VAT per person, guests are treated to a bespoke experience that includes a one-hour drinks reception with three elegant canapés per guest, a three-course meal crafted by Searcys’ expert chefs, half a bottle of house wine, plus still and sparkling water. Menus are curated with seasonal ingredients, designed to complement the setting with a focus on freshness, flavour, and sustainability.

As Jenny Waller, Head of Sales for Barbican Business Events puts it: “Whether it’s a corporate dinner or a celebration, this offering combines a stunning environment with impeccable catering and service to create unforgettable experiences.”

And with Searcys’ General Manager Brian Martin at the helm of the culinary offering, you can expect nothing short of excellence: “Our carefully curated menus, using the finest seasonal ingredients, are designed to complement the stunning tropical surroundings and create an atmosphere of indulgence and connection.”

From the dramatic architecture of the Barbican itself to the lush tranquillity of the Conservatory, this venue is all about contrasts, and that’s what makes it unforgettable. To book or find out more, contact the Barbican Business Events Team at +44 (0)20 7382 7043 or email [email protected].
