AGMs have a particular set of demands that other events don\u2019t. You have a quorum, which means the venue either helps people get there, or it doesn\u2019t. Proceedings have a formal shape: voting, resolutions, and quests. This means the room needs to work hard, not just look good.<\/p>

Mary Sumner House has hosted meetings, conferences and gatherings for over 100 years, and our rooms are set up to flex around whatever your AGM calls for. The Conference Hall accommodates up to 120 delegates in a setting that is professional and memorable. Individual spaces are available for breakout sessions, committee meetings, or board discussions running alongside the main event. Three Underground stations are within a short walk, and the London Victoria mainline is just minutes on foot.<\/p>

The building is a Grade II listed townhouse with rooms named after women who changed the world. The kind of setting that lends to the weight of an occasion without dramatising your AGM.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

We talk through requirements with every organiser in advance and encourage a visit before you book for the first time. The rooms have a character that is better appreciated in person than on screen. On the day, our team is available throughout to set up AV and ensure the practical side of the event runs without you having to think about it.<\/p>

The Conference Hall is equipped with a projector, screen, and PA system. Rooms on the first and second floors have display screens fitted. A full breakdown and pricing of room equipment is available in our Venue Hire & Equipment Charges brochure<\/a>.<\/p>

Catering can be as simple or as extravagant as your AGM calls for. For meetings on the 1st & 2nd Floors, tea, coffee, biscuits and water can be provided. Beyond that, you can bring your own caterer, work with one of our recommended suppliers, or arrange a post-AGM lunch in the same space once formalities have concluded.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Mary Sumner House has spaces suited to AGMs of varying sizes. Part of what makes the space so suitable is the ability to use rooms in combination, so that the formal meeting, committee sessions, and breakout discussions can all happen under one roof while maintaining privacy.<\/p>

For larger AGMs, the Conference Hall is the natural option. It holds up to 120 in theatre configuration and scales comfortably to smaller numbers without losing its atmosphere. It can equally be set in boardroom or cabaret configurations for organisations whose AGMs are discussion-based.<\/p>

For smaller organisations, the meeting rooms offer something more fitting. Each is named after a woman who shaped history: Mary Sumner herself, Rosa Parks, Malala Yousafzai, Maya Angelou, Wangari Maathai and others. These spaces are well-equipped, characterful spaces that offer intimacy and class.<\/p>

Full layouts, capacities and technical specifications for each room are on our rooms page.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Mary Sumner House is owned and operated by Mothers\u2019 Union, a Christian charity founded in 1876 whose work reaches 84 countries and four million members. Mothers’ Union’s programmes tackle domestic abuse, support families in crisis, and provide literacy and economic empowerment to vulnerable women and communities worldwide.<\/p>

When you book with us, you become a real part of that, as the charity is supported by the revenue of this building. It is not the reason to book, but it is a reason to feel good about having done so.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Catering can be as simple or as extravagant as your AGM requires. Every booking includes hot drinks and water, which covers the basics without additional arrangements. If you require something more, we can recommend suppliers we work with regularly to produce a working lunch between sessions or a post AGM reception. You are also more than welcome to make your own arrangements.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/details>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t
