Madame Tussauds

Madame Tussauds has been welcoming visitors to Marylebone Road since the 19th century, but its life as an event venue spans over fifty years and shows no signs of slowing. Twice voted the number one venue in the UK by Event Magazine readers, the attraction brings something to corporate and private events that purpose-built function rooms simply cannot replicate: universal recognition, built-in entertainment, and an atmosphere that guests remember long after the evening ends.

The premise is straightforward. Hire the venue, and over 150 extraordinarily lifelike wax figures become your event's entertainment, conversation starters, and photo opportunities. Guests move through themed zones — from the Royal Family and world leaders to Marvel superheroes and Star Wars characters — creating a self-guided experience that works for international delegates who have never visited and London regulars who bring fresh guests every year.

Behind the Red Carpet at Madame Tussauds

Events at Madame Tussauds begin with their own red carpet entrance, a detail that sets the tone before anyone reaches the event floor. The World Stage Ballroom, the attraction's largest space, holds up to 800 standing with a fully integrated stage, lighting rig, and sound system — all included in the hire. For smaller events, the Marvel and Star Wars zones offer themed settings for 80 to 120 guests, while the 1835 Champagne Bar provides a more intimate, daytime-focused space decorated with genuine artefacts from the attraction's history.

Brought to you by Merlin Venues in partnership with Seasoned Events, the catering and production operation runs with the professionalism of a venue that hosts events at this scale regularly. A dedicated event manager, door supervisors, cloakroom team, and technical crew come as standard — the infrastructure is built for events, not adapted from a visitor attraction.

Marylebone's Most Recognisable Venue

Baker Street station is a two-minute walk away, placing Madame Tussauds at the heart of central London's transport network. The surrounding Marylebone area offers hotels, restaurants, and the green space of Regent's Park within easy reach — practical considerations that matter for events hosting guests from outside London or across international time zones.
