By hosting an event at the Beaney delegates will have the opportunity to explore our gallery spaces, be inspired by our collections and learn about Canterbury’s rich heritage.

“The Museums Association was delighted to hold a one-day event at the Beaney. The staff were extremely helpful, from front-of-house staff to event staff and we were well looked after before the event and on the day. We couldn’t have asked for better service. The venue itself is lovely, beautifully set out and the catering and service were of the highest standard. The setting in the heart of Canterbury makes it an accessible and interesting venue. I would highly recommend the whole experience.”

Sharon Heal, Museums Association
