Charterhouse Square: A Summer Showcase To Remember

We were delighted to offer our agency partners and corporate clients an exclusive first look of Charterhouse Square, our brand-new summer venue for 2025.

Charterhouse Square Summer Showcase

On Tuesday, 24th June, we were thrilled to host an exclusive preview of our brand-new Summer 2025 venue, Charterhouse Square, a hidden gem nestled in the heart of the Barbican. We welcomed agency partners and corporate clients for a first look at our all-inclusive summer package, offering them a chance to experience it before anyone else.

Guests enjoyed a relaxed evening filled with seasonal treats, refreshing spritz cocktails, live acoustic performances, and the warmth of the midsummer sun, all set against the charming backdrop of this unique new space.

Picnic in the Park
Burrata Station

Upon arrival, guests were greeted with a refreshing selection of summery drinks, including classic Pimm’s, vibrant Pea Snap and Flora Dora cocktails, and a fragrant mint and basil lemonade. These were perfectly paired with a colourful array of canapés, from a playful take on the quintessentially British ‘ham, egg and chips’ (ham hock terrine, egg purée, piccalilli and crisp potato) to a seasonal smoked trout tart topped with gin and tonic crème fraîche, trout roe and delicate bronze fennel.

Moving Venue also curated two exceptional food stations. The first, their brand-new Burrata Station, featuring luxuriously creamy burrata served with toppings like hand-carved Prosciutto di San Daniele and succulent peach. The second, a whimsical Picnic in the Park Station, celebrated beloved British classics with flaky sausage rolls, tender steak rolls, coronation chicken sandwiches and more.

'A Celebration of Strawberries'

The evening drew to a stunning close with ‘A Celebration of Strawberries’, an eye-catching dessert station designed by Executive Pastry Chef, Sarah Hartnett. Guests indulged in a vibrant array of strawberry-themed treats, including strawberry tarts, macaron towers, and mini flowerpots, offering a true feast for the senses.

Alongside the food and drink, guests were treated to a variety of gorgeous summer entertainment that brought the space to life. The garden buzzed with laughter as guests enjoyed classic lawn games, from croquet to giant Jenga, while a charming photo opportunity offered the perfect spot to capture the moment. Live acoustic music played throughout the afternoon, creating a relaxed and uplifting atmosphere that carried into the evening, culminating in a captivating performance by a saxophone player, who provided the perfect soundtrack as the sun began to set over Charterhouse Square.

The afternoon was a true celebration of the season: a perfect blend of relaxed elegance, culinary creativity, and summer sunshine. Charterhouse Square truly is a standout setting for unforgettable summer events, offering a refreshing twist in the heart of the city. We were delighted to share a first taste of what’s to come and can’t wait to welcome more guests to experience the magic of this extraordinary venue both this year and next!
