Host your next
Award Ceremony at CHW

The breathtaking Great Hall offers a suitably grand environment for recognising and rewarding notable achievements, such as during the 2012 Laureus World Sports Awards.

The Great Hall can hold 2,000+ attendees under its remarkable domed ceiling and incorporates a superbly designed stage that creates a surprisingly intimate connection with award winners. A sweeping Grand Staircase also leads into the Great Hall from our front entrance, adding a further sense of ceremony and grandeur to proceedings.

Central Hall Westminster’s prestigious location opposite Westminster Abbey ensures your awards ceremony makes an immediate impression. Our grand entrance lends itself perfectly to red carpet arrivals, creating a striking and memorable welcome for your guests from the moment they arrive.

Guests travelling internationally will find us exceptionally easy to reach, with Westminster and St James’ Park underground stations just 5 minutes’ walk away, and Victoria rail station a short 13-minute stroll from our doors.

We have made significant improvements to the Great Hall together with our in-house audio-visual partner, White Light, to ensure that it can fully support any awards ceremony requirements, without detracting from its distinctive architecture.

Our dedicated IT team are also on hand to provide technical support with every aspect of your event, including bespoke event landing pages, teleconferencing facilities, dedicated internet connectivity, and bespoke IT solutions tailored to your event.

Since opening in 1912, our building has established itself as a natural home for moments of national and international significance. Among these are landmark occasions in independent theatre, including the 2025 OffWestEnd Awards (The Offies), which celebrate the creativity, innovation and influence of the UK’s vibrant fringe and emerging theatre scene.

The Great Hall’s remarkable domed ceiling and Viennese baroque architecture provide a grand backdrop for honouring achievement across every field. When you choose Central Hall Westminster for your awards ceremony, you’re not simply booking a venue – you’re becoming part of a distinguished tradition of celebrating excellence that spans over a century.
