In these straightened times we all want value for money and quite often when hospitality budgets are being slashed that can mean settling for a venue that gets the job done rather than one that entertains and delights your guests and delegates. With this in mind the Royal Air Force Museum London has launched a range of affordable Day Delegate Rates and Meetings Packages starting from only £40.75 per person inclusive of VAT as they believe your delegates will be as delighted with the venue and the service that they receive as you will be with the price.

Each package includes:

• Management and planning of your event in accordance with your needs
• Hire of the relevant room from 8am to 5pm
• Presentation screen with laptop, data projector, top table or lectern
• Full audio-visual support as required
• Exclusive use of our Conference Reception Desk and area to welcome your guests
• A welcoming tea and coffee on arrival with scrummy little mini pastries
• Mid-morning Tea, Coffee and Biscuits
• Your choice of a two course informal standing fork buffet luncheon from our wide range of menu options with Orange Juice and Mineral Water as standard.
• Mid-afternoon Tea, Coffee and Cake – just idea to prevent a rumbling stomach on the way home
• Professional, friendly and welcoming Service Staff.
• Plus access for your delegates to our world beating collection of aircraft from 10am to 6pm

Better yet, given that the Museum is only 10 minutes from Junction 4 of M1 and just 30 minutes from Central London reaching the venue quick and convenient...and unlike some London venues they are able to offer free secured parking for up to 200 delegates which, in the capital, is a real boon.

So the next time you are pondering whether your budget will allow you to hold a conference or day meeting in a venue that reflects your need for great value service; or if you are currently searching for an affordable unique venue that will impress your guests and delegates without bombarding your budget into oblivion call the Events Team at the Royal Air Force Museum on 020 8358 4848, email them at .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address) or visit www.rafmuseum.com /business_services
