With the artwork setting a creative atmosphere, The Duveens offer an unforgettable experience for guests. From 15th February to 27th April 2025, the venue’s capacity expands to 900 standing, making it perfect for large-scale events. Otherwise, it comfortably hosts up to 300 guests for receptions or luxury dinners.
