Catering Conference 2026

Join us online on 19 May for an inspiring day sharing best practice, ideas and solutions to enhance your catering offer. We’ll hear case studies from a range of cultural organisations, with time for round table discussion too.

  • Learn practical approaches you can apply straight away
  • Hear directly from peers working in cultural venues across the sector
  • Share challenges and solutions with people facing the same issues
  • Leave with new ideas, contacts and confidence

This is a great opportunity to collaborate and learn from colleagues working in catering across the sector, to tackle barriers and challenges together and be inspired with new ideas that you can put into practice at your own venue.
