Venue Hire

With its splendid setting on Horse Guards Parade in the very heart of ceremonial London, the museum not only celebrates the history and work of HM The King’s bodyguard, the Household Cavalry, the highest ranks in the British Army, but also offers itself as a wonderful and unique setting for a private use.

Events - receptions and dinners

Looking for a special party venue with a dollop of history, a splash of panache and a serving of je ne sais quois? Look no further than the Museum.

The only publicly accessible part of the iconic Horse Guards building, we sit in the heart of Royal London and can host intimate dinners to buzzing drinks parties – all within sight and smell of the working stables of the King’s Life Guard.

Each private hire event is offered exclusive use of the entire Museum- perfect for a reception for 25 – 100 guests, or dining for 6 – 32 guests.

Thank you, to all of those involved at the museum, in making our 75th Anniversary Luncheon as resounding success and such an fantastic experience for our guests.

Thank you so so much for looking after us so gloriously last Tuesday. It was wonderful from start to finish and the ideal place to have a really really lovely party – both beautiful and inspiring.
