Top Summer Party Ideas

Great ideas for top summer parties from fantastic entertainment, party boats, 5 star hotels, restaurants to out-of-town spaces.

The events industry is becoming more flamboyant, more exuberant, more experimental and above all, more daring, as brands shed their bashfulness and vie for attention in an increasingly competitive market. This is great news though as events are becoming more and more prominent (aided and abetted, of course, by the social networks) as well as being widely recognised as a way to captivate, engage and inspire your target market.

A few years ago, to have an event on a boat cruising along the Thames or on a rooftop on Embankment was confined to the realms of 'ahead of their time' and a 'little too risky'. Summer parties are becoming a much more common event in the annual calendar and an opportunity to showcase the personality of your brand and employees.

With salubrious rooftop spaces such as the most famous one at IET gaining widespread Thames-side 'beach parties'- are becoming the perfect way to attract your target audience. The more ‘immersive’ the better, it seems. Indeed, the more 'tweetable', remarkable and, to a certain extent, controversial your event is, the more exposure you and your brand will achieve. Not to mention the edgy reputation (even positive notoriety) you'll gain. And that's very rarely a bad thing.

So, with all that firmly planted in your (newly expanded) corporate mind, we'd like to entice you to dare to be different, to be bold in your convictions and not to do things by half. Try some of our amazing spaces below. And if you don' find what you're looking for here, head over to our summer venues page or our summer blog page.
