Cutty Sark is one of the most iconic and genuinely singular event venues in the world. Built in 1869, she is the last surviving tea clipper of her era and sits in permanent dry dock at the heart of the UNESCO Maritime Greenwich World Heritage Site, just twenty minutes from the City of London.
The centrepiece of any event here is The Dry Berth: the dramatic space directly beneath the ship's copper-clad hull, flooded with warm light that plays across the curved underside of the vessel above your guests' heads. There is nothing else like it anywhere in London. The Dry Berth accommodates 400 for a standing reception, 300 for a conference, and 240 for a seated dinner, making it equally powerful for large corporate galas, product launches, award dinners and press events.
Above deck, The Weather Deck offers one of Greenwich's finest outdoor settings: open sky, the masts and rigging of a 19th-century clipper, and sweeping views across the UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is a spectacular space for pre-dinner drinks, summer receptions and photography moments that cannot be replicated anywhere else in the capital.
For more intimate occasions, The 'Tween Deck sits within the ship itself and accommodates up to 100 standing or 60 for a seated dinner, surrounded by original ship fittings and authentic nautical character. The Master's Saloon offers the most exclusive experience: a private dining room for up to 12 guests in what were once the captain's own quarters.
As an accredited production partner at Cutty Sark through our partnership with Royal Museums Greenwich, Kudos AV understands the unique technical and heritage constraints of working within and beneath a Grade I listed vessel. Every element of our production is specified to respect the fabric of the ship while delivering a flawless event experience for your guests.
