We are thrilled to announce that Nibbs Events are now a preferred production supplier to the Southbank Centre. It was a pleasure to be back for the 2024 BAFTA Film Red Carpet, bringing a new look and feel to the event. This iconic venue is at the heart of so many world class events in all areas of entertainment, and we are excited to grow our relationship with such a special place.
Southbank Centre hosts a wide range of events from music, exhibitions, galleries, poetry and literary festivals. It is home to six resident orchestras Aurora Orchestra, Chineke! Orchestra, London Philharmonic Orchestra, London Sinfonietta, Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and Philharmonia Orchestra. For the film industry, Royal Festival Hall hosts the red carpet galas for the BFI London Film Festival, the BAFTA Film and Television Awards, plus many other red carpet premieres.
Southbank Centre is made up of several venues consisting of Hayward Gallery, Queen Elizabeth Hall, Jubilee Gardens and Royal Festival Hall, a venue with a 2,500 seater auditorium. The Royal Festival Hall is a Grade I listed building built in 1951 as part of the Festival of Britain, a national exhibition and fair billed as a ‘tonic to the nation’ to help the nation recover from the Second World War. Celebrating arts, science, industry and design, eight million people attended across its five-month run. The Royal Festival Hall is the only original building still standing from the festival. It has undergone various renovation projects over the years in order to maintain the iconic building, most recently in 2005 funded by the National Lottery. The original designers were Robert Matthew and Leslie Martin, with Peter Moro, and furniture designed by Robin Day.
We’re excited to see where the future takes us with Southbank Centre – stay tuned for more!
