Private Events
Turner Contemporary is available for private hire for parties, celebrations, landmark events, special suppers and intimate occasions.
Our spaces adapt to the scale and rhythm of your event — from daytime gatherings to evening receptions — always shaped by light and the sea.
Dynamic spaces
Our interconnected ground-floor spaces are designed for flexibility. Movable walls and full-height sea views allow rooms to be configured for a wide range of event formats and capacities.
Used together, the spaces can host up to 250 guests standing, while preserving a sense of light, openness and flow.
A sense of place
Set directly on the seafront, Turner Contemporary stands at the meeting point of land, sea and sky. With the horizon stretched out in front of you, the building faces the elements from a striking coastal position. A landmark in the heart of Margate, the gallery offers a setting shaped by light, weather and its immediate surroundings — a place that feels distinctly rooted, and unmistakably here.
Personalising your event
We understand the importance of an occasion that feels personal and considered. Our events team works closely with you to shape the practical details of your hire, from the flow of the day to the finer elements that matter to you. We collaborate with a handpicked network of Kent-based suppliers — from food and drink to production and floristry — helping your event feel rooted in its surroundings and connected to the coast.
