Flashback to last week… when “days off” still involve a little venue spotting 👀✨
While visiting the incredible National Railway Museum in York with my two little daughters, I couldn’t resist popping into Station Hall to take a look at the potential of its large dinner space… because in events, the inspiration (and work!) never really stops 🚂
Station Hall has just undergone an extensive refurbishment, and the transformation is seriously impressive. Set within the museum’s huge former steam locomotive depot, the scale of the space immediately sparks ideas for gala dinners, awards evenings and large-scale corporate events surrounded by true British engineering history.
Back in 1975, the National Railway Museum opened its doors, becoming the very first national museum outside London. The former depot proved to be the perfect home, and it was an immediate success with the public. Today, it remains one of Britain’s busiest museums and is perhaps the most popular railway museum in the world 🌍
There’s something special about hosting events in spaces that already tell a story, and Station Hall certainly has plenty to tell.
Always exploring. Always planning. Even on family days out 💙
