HOST AN EVENT

A Grid is set up to be able to cater for practically any event of different shapes and sizes. We have had events of 400 people, but if the occasion requires, we can cater for more. Our lobby space and event venue Mordor have so far hosted hundreds of events, and as you might guess from the name, it isn’t your regular conference space!

Our Facility Sales team will help you find the right space for your special event.
