Musical Meeting Notes!<br />

Gillian Lynne Theatre<br />

Formerly known as the New London Theatre until<br />

recently when Andrew Lloyd Webber, whose Really<br />

Useful Group own the building, announced the<br />

theatre would be renamed as the Gillian Lynne<br />

Theatre, after the legendary choreographer who<br />

died at the beginning of July. Made a Dame in the<br />

Queen's New Year's Honour List in 2014, Lynne is<br />

probably best known for her collaborations with<br />

Andrew Lloyd Webber, having choreographed the<br />

musical Cats, The Phantom of the Opera and<br />

Aspects of Love.<br />

conference with key speakers making the most of<br />

the stage.<br />

Originally designed in the 1970s, the theatre benefits<br />

from a vast open-plan foyer and bar areas which are<br />

great for entertaining clients and guests as well as<br />

making superb exhibition space for up to 200<br />

delegates. Smaller meeting spaces and break-out<br />

areas are also available for when a bit more privacy<br />

is required.<br />

Centrally located on London's Drury Lane, the Gillian<br />

Lynn Theatre has a back catalogue of smash hits,<br />

including War Horse, Joseph and the Amazing<br />

Technicolour Dreamcoat and School of Rock.<br />

Stepping into such inspiring theatre history has to<br />

be an audience pleaser for event organisers looking<br />

to orchestrate a memorable meeting or conference.<br />

The main auditorium seats up to 1,000 delegates and<br />

with no pillars or posts, it's an ideal space for a<br />

company presentation, award ceremony or a<br />

9


Theatre Royal, Drury Lane<br />

To spur delegates onto success, the Theatre Royal,<br />

Drury Lane holds an impressive record; My Fair Lady<br />

held the record for longest running show before Miss<br />

Saignon took off at the box office and ran for ten<br />

successful years. Recent productions have included<br />

Shrek the Musical and Charlie and the Chocolate<br />

Factory but perhaps the most mind blowing fact is the<br />

Theatre Royal, Drury Lane has welcomed every<br />

monarch since 1663! The theatre also has two royal<br />

boxes and it was the stage for the public to hear Rule<br />

Britannia and the National Anthem for the first time.<br />

Event organisers have the choice of the main<br />

auditorium which seats an impressive 2,154 guests or<br />

on a smaller scale, the North, South or Novello Rooms<br />

welcome between 10 and 30 delegates for a meeting<br />

or training session.<br />

The beautiful Grand Salon welcomes up to 350 guests<br />

and makes an enviable setting for a reception with<br />

chandeliers, large windows and high ceilings creating<br />

an elegant and stylish backdrop.<br />

Musical Meeting Notes!<br />

London Palladium Theatre<br />

Is there a stage more famous than the London<br />

Palladium? With a lavish 2,200 seat auditorium<br />

many will recognise the theatre from hosting<br />

Britain's Got Talent but its TV links go back to the hit<br />

show Sunday Night from the London Palladium with<br />

50s and 60s legends Bruce Forsyth, Norman Wisdom,<br />

Peter Cook and Dudley Moore, plus The Beatles and<br />

Sammy Davis Junior to name just a few of the stars<br />

who entertained the nation on black and white<br />

televisions!<br />

During the 50s, Gillian Lynn also appeared as the<br />

Palladium's Star Dancer before going on to<br />

choreograph the iconic theatre's most successful<br />

show, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang some 50 years later.<br />

With so much history, an event held at the London<br />

Palladium must be destined to be a sell-out success<br />

and with the stunning and perfectly named Cinderella<br />

Bar available for private day time hire, a smaller<br />

presentation for up to 150 delegates is a charming<br />

occasion everyone will want to attend.<br />

Musical Meeting Notes!<br />

Troxy<br />

Over in East London, the dramatic art deco live events<br />

venue Troxy, complete with its Wurlitzer organ, has<br />

been entertaining people since 1933 when the motion<br />

picture King Kong was first screened!<br />

Built as the UK's largest cinema, Troxy has always<br />

done everything with style, starting with the evening<br />

dress staff once wore and the perfume they sprayed<br />

into the air during film screenings through to hosting<br />

the Ted Baker AW14 Fashion Show and transforming<br />

the venue into a German Christmas market with<br />

real trees and fake snow for Google's festive party.<br />

the coolest date in a delegate's diary!<br />

The beautiful Grand Hall is the largest space, split into<br />

two pillar free levels welcoming up to 1,500 guests.<br />

Breakout spaces are available in the Conference<br />

Room and the White Room, accommodating up to 40<br />

and 150 delegates respectively, and a further eight<br />

dressing rooms and production rooms are available.<br />

A large kitchen makes catering for up to 1,000 guests<br />

possible and with five bars and a 2:00am licence, Troxy<br />

is definitely licensed to thrill!<br />

Along with state-of-the-art sound and lighting systems<br />

a rock group would be happy with, the Troxy is a visual<br />

feast for the eyes with original features which have<br />

been carefully restored to Grade II listed status.<br />

At the disposal of event organisers hiring this<br />

award-winning venue is an impressive team who<br />

are ready to turn a conference, product launch,<br />

award ceremony or corporate celebration into<br />

Food & Beverage Supervisor at Hilton Sheffield<br />

meetings and events packages along with a great<br />

choice of catering options, making it the perfect<br />

venue to host any event, from small meetings to<br />

a lavish wedding.<br />

The hotel caters for small to medium-sized<br />

book, fully equipped and of an impeccable<br />

standard. Moreover, as part of their Meetings<br />

Simplified package (Hilton Sheffield’s solution<br />

for meetings of up to 25 delegates), the hotel<br />

has launched an exciting new food and drink<br />

concept: free-flowing food and drinks all day at<br />

no extra cost.<br />

Jordan Busby, the hotel’s Food & Beverage<br />

Supervisor looking after conferences and events<br />

tells us more:<br />

The stylish Hilton Sheffield overlooks the scenic<br />

Victoria Quays and is only a short walk from<br />

Sheffield city centre. Its Quays Restaurant offers<br />

contemporary British cuisine and the hotel has<br />

great leisure facilities; it is an ideal location for<br />

“The key part of my role is to make sure all<br />

conferences and events run smoothly, these can<br />

vary from corporate bookings, football teams<br />

to a range of social events such as weddings,<br />

birthdays and student balls. Managing staff is<br />

also a key part of my role, and one which I enjoy.<br />

"Every day is different and has new challenges,<br />

which makes working at Hilton Sheffield<br />

interesting and exciting. Team work is very<br />

important as the team has to work closely<br />

meeting all our guests' needs and event<br />

requests, ensuring it is successful and a pleasure<br />

for all involved.<br />

“I have a structured daily routine. In the morning<br />

I take time to prepare the team for the arrival of<br />

conference delegates to ensure the team are<br />

briefed about the day ahead. At 10:00am we<br />

have the morning meeting with other<br />

departments, this is where I learn about<br />

everyone's day, what is happening and any<br />

changes I need to be aware of. I then prepare<br />

the Meeting Simplified for lunch time and<br />

any afternoon breaks, to make sure this is<br />

constantly replenished and running smoothly.”<br />

Jordan’s day goes by so quickly, making sure<br />

everything is under control, delegates are<br />

happy and all breaks are well catered and<br />

displayed properly, especially when it comes to<br />

the Meetings Simplified package which allows<br />

delegates to break when it suits them and keep<br />

continually refreshed and refuelled.<br />

“Towards the end of the day, I will gain any<br />

feedback from the conference guests, whether it<br />

is good or constructive criticism. This helps us to<br />

move on and improve, and then I start hand over<br />

to the evening staff."<br />

BRUNEL'S SS<br />

GREAT BRITAIN<br />

BRISTOL HARBOURSIDE<br />

There's no chance of delegates drifting off when they board Brunel's SS<br />

Great Britain in Bristol's Harbourside! The former passenger steamship,<br />

designed by civil engineering pioneer Isambard Kingdom Brunel, was<br />

launched in 1843 as the world‘s first iron hulled, screw propelled passenger<br />

liner. By combining size, power and innovative technology, Brunel created<br />

a ship that changed history. Today Brunel's SS Great Britain provides a truly<br />

unique setting for events and provides organisers with an inspirational<br />

setting and all the state-of-the-art audio visual equipment and free WiFi<br />

needed to keep today's delegates onboard.<br />

in young people through developing their skills and confidence in the<br />

great outdoors.<br />

Today, Bear Grylls is Chief Scout and outdoor learning is recognised by<br />

many as one of the best ways to transform lives and future prospects.<br />

With this in mind, the team picked Gilwell Park for its fabulous setting<br />

and superb team-building activities which are guaranteed to keep<br />

the keenest of adrenaline seekers happy, but also for its excellent<br />

A Day in the Life...<br />

Abbi Coles<br />

Conference and Events Coordinator at Holiday Inn Corby Kettering A43<br />

"My day to day job consists of responding<br />

to conference and event enquiries via email and<br />

telephone. My favourite part of booking events is<br />

dealing with new clients and being able to help<br />

create their vision. Once I have all the details<br />

for their event, I get to know exactly what they<br />

are hoping for in order to make their event<br />

perfect. I always strive to give our clients the best<br />

experiences with us, whether this be minimalist<br />

meetings or dream weddings.<br />

"We've started building an outside decking<br />

area and adding a BBQ so I've been working<br />

on creating a new day delegate rate. I like to<br />

include things which I would be impressed<br />

with if I attended a meeting – and a break<br />

for a BBQ would definitely be appreciated!<br />

It's important to view things in the eyes of<br />

the delegates as after all, we want them to<br />

be happy."<br />

With weekend and evening appointments to<br />

attend, conference and events coordinator Abbi<br />

Coles from the Holiday Inn Corby Kettering A43<br />

is busy meeting clients and guests looking to use<br />

the hotel for meetings, conferences, weddings<br />

and family celebrations.<br />

Having spent almost two years as a host in the<br />

Food and Beverage department she brings<br />

knowledge and experience to the role. We asked<br />

her to tell us more about a typical day in her life.<br />

Holiday Inn Corby Kettering A43 offers organisers<br />

a choice of seven different suites and rooms with<br />

the Heart Suite welcoming up to 150 guests and<br />

popular for weddings. Abbi explains more:<br />

"Weddings are a big part of my job where I<br />

focus on the people side of the role. I like to<br />

take time to get to know the couples who will<br />

spend their wedding day with us. It's important<br />

to make their day absolutely perfect and it's<br />

such a pleasure to spend what can usually be<br />

A Day in the Life...<br />

a year, communicating with the brides and<br />

grooms before their special day. This part of my<br />

job is certainly the most rewarding as I play a<br />

huge role in one of the most memorable days of<br />

their lives."<br />

As well as being busy with weddings, meetings<br />

and conferences, Abbi is the hotel's Charity<br />

Champion. She explains:<br />

"It's my responsibility to support both local<br />

and national charities on behalf of the hotel<br />

and make all the arrangements for raising<br />

money. One of our most recent ventures has<br />

been a 12 hour bike-athon which I managed to<br />

persuade everyone to join! We cycled 153.51<br />

miles between us on a stationary bike in the<br />

lobby area. This was a lot of fun for all of the staff<br />

and everyone really embraced raising money<br />

for Sport Relief (some of the staff even<br />

competed against each other to see who<br />

could do the most miles!).<br />

"We also hold comedy nights which are hosted<br />

by one of our Food and Beverage Hosts and our<br />

Night Auditor. Combined with their fantastic<br />

knowledge of comedy and their ability to get up<br />

and coming comedians to appear for free, these<br />

events have become popular and successful<br />

in raising a substantial amount of money to<br />

support a local charity, Teamwork Trust, which<br />

is a centre for adults with physical and learning<br />

disabilities."<br />
