CCT Venue's newly refurbished Smithfield venue is due to reopen on 20th January 2020 and will be their freshest and quirkiest venue yet!
CCT Venues-Smithfield is situated above the historic, Grade II listed Smithfield Market in Farringdon, London. It originally opened back in 2005 as the first venue in our portfolio, but for the past five years it has been hired exclusively by one client and therefore unavailable to book.
The new and improved CCT Venues-Smithfield has a bright, lively and energising design – aimed to create an informal and inspiring space which fosters creativity and is perfect for meetings, training and conferences alike. The interior has been completely re-imagined and revitalised, but the traditional historical features, such as the colourful wrought-iron windows remain.
The venue offers 13 flexible rooms, capable of accommodating between 6 and 220 delegates, all on one floor. This distinctive venue has all the benefits of a modern meeting space, with superfast internet, digital signage and plasma screens being just some of the features that come as standard in every room. An open plan reception area, lounge and restaurant help to create a spacious feel and are all themed around London’s historic markets.
The Camden Lock room is the perfect creative space for workshops and meetings, with features such as a drinks fridge, snack machines and a retro games table to keep the energy levels high.
Located less than 5 minutes’ walk from Farringdon and Barbican stations (and only 1 stop from Kings Cross), getting there couldn’t be easier!
Their Smithfield venue makes a refreshing change from a traditional corporate training venue and is an ideal creative meeting space located in the heart of London.
Quote from Caroline Bull, CEO:
“CCT Venues-Smithfield was our first venue, opening in April 2005. The location has always been quirky and a refreshing change from Corporate London. Being based above a vibrant working market is interesting and as the market traders work through the small hours of the morning and pack up as we as we start work, we enjoy the atmosphere but no disturbance. It is exciting to be bringing this characterful space back to the open market after five years of loyal service to one client.
The whole of the CCT Venues team are excited about the refurbishment and relaunch, knowing that it will be a popular addition for our clients. The creation of the Camden Lock room and relaxing open plan restaurant and lounge areas are a nod to the changing tastes of today’s bookers – good service is expected but spaces also need to have the ability to stimulate and relax delegates, and we are confident that the new look venue will meet this brief.”
