International<br />
Museum Day<br />
The objective of International Museum Day is<br />
to raise awareness of the fact that<br />
“Museums are an<br />
important means of<br />
cultural exchange,<br />
enrichment of cultures<br />
and development of<br />
mutual understanding,<br />
cooperation and peace<br />
among peoples.”<br />
Organised on and around 18 <strong>May</strong> each year,<br />
participation in International Museum Day is<br />
growing among museums all over the world.<br />
In 2017, more than 36,000 museums took part<br />
in the event in some 157 countries.<br />
If you think museums are cold and grey<br />
relics of the past, it's time to think again! Our<br />
carefully curated Findmeconference collection<br />
exhibits all the reasons why meetings in<br />
museums are so on-trend! From world-renown<br />
collections, treasure troves of historic artefacts<br />
and vaults of valuable relics, from prehistoric<br />
to present day, a museum sets the scene to<br />
amaze, astound and strike applause from<br />
delegates and guests.
International Museum Day<br />
Natural History Museum
The Natural History Museum is known across the globe for<br />
its unique collections and science research centre leading the<br />
way in tackling some of the world's biggest challenges. The<br />
iconic South Kensington building has magnificent architecture<br />
which creates an imaginative backdrop for events.<br />
Its striking spaces are ideal for corporate celebrations and<br />
conferences and with an experienced team providing expert<br />
support, an event is in very safe hands at the Natural<br />
History Museum.<br />
Following a major redevelopment, which included suspending<br />
a 25 metre blue whale skeleton from the ceiling, Hinze Hall,<br />
the museum's main space, reopened last summer. Available<br />
for grand banqueting events seating up to 450 guests or<br />
a spectacular reception for 1,000 delegates, the hall is the<br />
gateway to the museum's collections and galleries.<br />
Organisers have a range of beautiful spaces to choose from,<br />
such as Earth Hall, the Darwin Centre and the purpose-built<br />
Flett Events Theatre, which benefits from its own private foyer<br />
for delegate registration and breaks. Intimate and exclusive<br />
events can be arranged in different galleries, perfect for<br />
champagne receptions, charity balls and award ceremonies.<br />

International Museum Day<br />
Royal Armouries have three museums across the UK<br />
and cares for one of the most important collections of<br />
arms and armour in the world. With a history dating<br />
back to the Middle Ages, collections are displayed in<br />
their historical home at The Tower of London, the<br />
purpose-built Royal Armouries Museum in Leeds<br />
and at Fort Nelson in Hampshire.<br />
The Royal Armouries Museum offers a<br />
comprehensive and unique range of facilities for<br />
conferences, banqueting and exhibitions. The War<br />
Gallery is popular for creating themed evenings with<br />
its historic backdrop of exciting displays and dramatic<br />
interpretations. Guests can enjoy a reception while<br />
experiencing authentic extracts from the 95th Rifles<br />
regiment or the Battle of Hastings where a Norman<br />
warrior recalls the famous battle of 1066.<br />
With over 20 years of hosting high profile exhibitions,<br />
society banquets, award ceremonies, themed<br />
Christmas parties, major PLC announcements,<br />
government led meetings and conferences, Royal<br />
Armouries have achieved an incomparable reputation<br />
for conferences and events.<br />
11
Back in the capital, the mighty Tower of London,<br />
standing proud on the shore of the River Thames, strikes<br />
an imposing presence of fortitude, perfect for spurring<br />
teams onto success. The world heritage site, famous for its<br />
stories of wing-clipped ravens, colourful Yeoman Warders<br />
and the priceless Crown Jewels, is an enthralling setting<br />
for meetings, dinners and receptions. One of London's<br />
few venues able to cater for large numbers, The Moat is<br />
available for exclusive hire and accommodates up to 2,000<br />
people. Previous events have included the Tower Music<br />
Festival and Tower Ice Rink.<br />
No experience of the Tower is complete without seeing the<br />
world's most valuable array of crowns, coronation regalia<br />
and jewels. A Jewel House reception with knowledgeable<br />
wardens passing on stories about the jewels is certain to be<br />
the crowning glory on a successful event.<br />
For a bright and modern setting, the second floor New<br />
Armouries meeting suite accommodates up to 100<br />
delegates for theatre style events with syndicate rooms<br />
available for smaller meetings. This versatile area, which<br />
can be divided into separate spaces, allows delegates free<br />
access to the public areas of the Tower.<br />

Currently home to the spacecraft which brought<br />
European Space Agency astronaut Tim Peake safely back<br />
to earth, the Museum of Science and Industry has a<br />
purpose-built conference centre offering organisers a<br />
choice of ten rooms and suites. Located on the second<br />
floor of the Grade II listed Great Western Warehouse<br />
and benefitting from a recent £9 million refurbishment<br />
programme, each event space is named after Manchester<br />
exports, from scientists to steam locomotives<br />
and telescopes.<br />
Combine the Dalton and Joule Suite for training sessions,<br />
interviews, presentations and conferences for up to 70<br />
delegates. The state-of-the-art event space boasts an<br />
advanced AV system, LCD projector screen, DVD player,<br />
speakers and a dedicated event manager to oversee<br />
all requirements.<br />
Another remarkable space in the museum is the new<br />
Revolution Manchester Gallery which sets an impressive<br />
scene for galas, elegant banquets and corporate<br />
celebrations for up to 450 guests. A digital media wall<br />
and a photo chandelier add 21st century wow factor into<br />
the space which showcases Manchester's industrial and<br />
scientific heritage.<br />

A Day in the Life...<br />
Kelly<br />
Mole<br />
Dating back to the 12th Century, Farnham<br />
Castle is a popular venue for meetings and<br />
celebrations and offers organisers a choice<br />
of 11 impressive rooms.<br />
We recently caught up with Kelly Mole, Head<br />
of Sales, to find out what it's like working<br />
in a building which has entertained Kings<br />
and Queens.<br />
Tell us about your role?<br />
I joined the Castle in March this year to<br />
support the growth and development of the<br />
Wedding, Conference and Events business.<br />
This will be achieved by supporting, leading<br />
and developing the knowledge of the sales<br />
team whilst guiding them with my 25 years of<br />
experience within the industry.<br />
What does a typical day involve?<br />
It starts with a coffee and a catch up with<br />
the team so I am aware of their action plans,<br />
plus a quick look at my appointments and<br />
priorities for the day. I then check my emails<br />
and the day begins. It can vary so much<br />
from show rounds on site for new business<br />
or networking off site for new leads and of<br />
course day to day meetings with the team.<br />
24
A part of my day is always spent analysing<br />
figures and where we are for the month, year<br />
and future year to ensure we are achieving our<br />
goals and targets.<br />
Tell us something interesting about<br />
your job?<br />
The variety! One minute I can be talking to a<br />
future bride about the most important day<br />
of their life, to assisting a director in turning<br />
the Castle into a film location for their next<br />
blockbuster, to organising one of our<br />
team-building activities for a blue chip<br />
company.<br />
What do you love about your job?<br />
The team spirit and drive to deliver exceptional<br />
customer service to all our clients! Working at<br />
the Castle is also such a unique experience, with<br />
its stunning grounds and historic buildings.<br />
Being able to sample our world-class food is<br />
always a bonus!<br />
What are you excited about at Farnham<br />
Castle?<br />
The growth of our corporate business and<br />
building on the success of our weddings! I’m<br />
also looking forward to seeing some of our<br />
fantastic corporate team-building activities<br />
taking place this summer!<br />
If would you like more details on holding a<br />
meeting or event at Farnham Castle, contact<br />

BE<br />
COUNTRY<br />
CLEVER!<br />
Say goodbye to city chaos and choose a mansion house to create the perfect<br />
canvas for a corporate celebration, conference or meeting. With so much history<br />
and heritage in our nation's grand old homes, holding an event away from the<br />
city is guaranteed to raise spirits, inspire fresh ideas and ignite imaginations.<br />
Whether you opt for a boardroom meeting with a stately setting, a brainstorming<br />
session in a room with traditional styling or make the most of the great outdoors for<br />
team-building development, it's time to be country clever!
Country Clever Collection<br />
Set in the rolling countryside of Warwickshire<br />
and just a short drive from Stratford-upon-Avon<br />
is the stunning 16th Century Billesley Manor.<br />
Referenced in the Domesday Book, a meeting in<br />
the unique and intimate Library space is certain<br />
to motivate delegates as it is thought William<br />
Shakespeare wrote As You Like It in this space.<br />
The room has traditional styling with a decorative<br />
fireplace and views over the mansion house<br />
grounds which are spectacular. The Library also<br />
makes the ideal setting for private dining. Praised<br />
by the famous food critic Egon Ronay, the superb<br />
cuisine has been awarded two AA rosettes.<br />
Welcoming up to 80 delegates, The Great Hall is<br />
a beautiful, oak panelled room very much in the<br />
