Students on our Summer Term event management courses recently visited Andaz London Liverpool Street for an industry site tour led by lecturer Nick Oxborrow. The visit gave students the opportunity to examine how a major London hotel manages meetings, private functions (parties and weddings), corporate events (conferences, exhibitions and product launches) and hospitality experiences within a busy commercial setting. Learning Beyond the Classroom Practical exposure is an impor

Meet Guilherme from Brazil, who joined The Event School London to explore the world of sports event management and gain a closer understanding of how the industry works in practice. For Guilherme, studying in London meant learning in a city shaped by major sporting events, internationally recognised venues and a diverse professional events community. Learning beyond the classroom During his course, Guilherme’s learning extended well beyond the training room. He visited some o

Each year, our Event Management students move beyond case studies and simulated briefs to deliver a live, multi-layered event as part of their Professional Practice module. This year’s project, the Awards for Excellence 2026, brings together industry engagement, brand activation, and a formal ceremony in one carefully structured evening at the Novotel London ExCeL. It is not a hypothetical exercise. It is a real event with invited industry guests, a defined audience, and repu

The setting is the original Masonic Temple inside Andaz London Liverpool Street, often described as the hotel’s best kept secret. This Grecian style te

Every year, a small number of moments stand out as true highlights of our teaching calendar. This visit to Hyde Park Winter Wonderland is firmly one of them. For our Festival Management students, this was not a day out as spectators. It was a structured, analytical site visit designed to explore one of London’s most complex seasonal events through the eyes of an event manager. From the moment they entered the site, students were encouraged to observe, question and evaluate ho

A highlight from our 2025 programme calendar was an invitation to BAFTA 195 Piccadilly, offering our students and team a rare opportunity to step inside one of London’s most prestigious cultural and event venues. Experiences like this sit at the heart of how we teach at The Event School London, connecting learning directly to the realities of the industry and the people who shape it. The visit combined a full venue showcase with a private screening of Conclave in BAFTA’s beau

This visit was more than just a tour; it was an immersive learning experience that connected classroom knowledge with real-world event management and rigging pr
