Ditch the boring boardroom or run-of-the-mill venue.

Let’s be real—no one looks forward to spending hours in a stuffy, sterile, windowless conference room. If you want to get people excited about your next training day or seminar, sometimes, a good change of scenery is all it takes, and we have tons of excellent options like Duplex Penthouse with 360 City View and Hot Tub on Giggster.
Who wouldn’t be motivated to train and learn in an elegant Grade I listed Georgian building? You won't want to go back to a boring boardroom once you fall in love with the stunning architecture and interior of the five-storey building. If you need a short break after a long discussion, walk around the beautiful Fitzroy Square in central London and enjoy the atmosphere or see one of the city attractions just a short walking distance from your location.
A large house in North London with garden and lawn areas could be what you need for a fun retreat or team building. You might have to bring your own AV equipment or rent some, but there are multiple meeting rooms you can use for different training courses, including a green room, office/study, and even an outdoor terrace with a fireplace for fresh air.
Who says training sessions and workshops should be in a meeting room or office? On the outskirts of London, you’ll find a picturesque open-plan home you can rent for your group. It’s less than an hour's drive from central London, so you won’t be too far from all the action but far enough to escape the crowds.
For great training without distractions, book a multipurpose room in East London. Though designed for rehearsals, the sky is the limit to what you can do in this blank canvas space, from photo and film shoots to meetings, discussions, and training sessions.
Exceptional Variety & Quality: From bright, modern studios and quirky art galleries in Brighton to elegant Victorian homes and garden oases in the British capital, Giggster has 3299 curated spaces that will help bring out the best in your team and bring your dream event to life.
Hassle-Free Booking: Find the perfect venue using the smart filter to narrow your search, contact the host to get more details about the training room, and book for as low as £16/hour—do all these in just a few clicks on the user-friendly Giggster app.
24-Hour Free Cancellation Policy: We understand that plans change, which is why we let you cancel your booking within 24 hours of confirmation without any penalties, provided the booking is made at least 48 hours before the event.

Where you hold your training can be just as important as what you teach, so don’t settle for a cookie-cutter venue. You can make every training session inspiring and fun, and it starts with the right training setting.
Conference and Meeting Rooms – Where New Ideas are Born. Let’s start with the classic training go-tos. If you don’t want to prepare much for a training session or workshop, like setting up the space with screens, projectors, and comfortable seating, meeting and conference rooms are your best bet. You'll quickly get into work mode and focus on what matters when you're in these places, thanks to their professional vibe.
Training Centres – Where Skills Take Flight. Instead of trying to train in a noisy café or busy office, a dedicated training space gives you a quiet room far from distractions and interruptions that can throw things off. You also have the right tools for the job, from whiteboards and flip charts to good lighting and all the tech you need.
Galleries and Museums – Discover the Art of Learning. Do you want to take your seminar, lecture, or workshop outside the typical office setting? You’re in luck because many cities in the UK have one-of-a-kind art galleries and museums that will not only spark the attendees’ creativity but will also encourage out-of-the-box thinking.
Outdoor Spaces – Fresh Air and Fresh Ideas. Parks, fields, gardens, and terraces—anywhere outside make excellent training spaces. What a refreshing change of pace. If the weather is too cold for an outdoor event, pick a place with both indoor and outdoor spaces so you get to enjoy the best of both worlds.
Theatres and Cinemas – Take the Stage for Success. Large screens, excellent acoustics, comfortable seating, high-quality sound systems—all these and more are guaranteed in most theatres and cinemas in the UK cities. The theatrical setting also adds a bit of excitement and drama to the presentation and performance.
The right venue can make or break the experience and help determine whether attendees feel comfortable and inspired or just plain bored, counting down the minutes. Don’t make it just another meeting or training they’ll soon forget by choosing the best location.
Is it easy to get to? No one wants to start a training day stressed from a long commute and multiple bus and train transfers. So before you look for training venues outside the city centre, check the centrally located spaces nearby. Remember that it should be easy to get to, whether they’re driving, taking public transport, or even flying in.
Are attendees comfortable and happy? These are the biggest indicators you’ve found the ideal space. If people are comfortable, engaged, and giving positive feedback about the training room, you’ve hit the jackpot.
Can it be set in different ways? Maybe you need a classroom-style setting at the beginning and then breakout sections later. Perhaps a U-shape works best for your group. No matter the seating arrangements you need, it should cater to your requirements.
It can feel like juggling a lot of things when you plan a training event. Whether you’re an experienced event planner or someone given the task of conducting a seminar or workshop, you know the process can be tricky and overwhelming at times. Don’t worry—we have your back with this helpful guide.
What’s the Point? – You have to figure out your goal at the beginning, even before you assemble a team to help you put everything together. What do you want attendees to learn or be able to do after the session?
Track Your Spending – You’ll be in a lot of trouble if you don’t set your budget, which will influence your choices for many things, like the venue and catering hires. But you should also know where your money is going and how much you’re using from your budget to avoid overspending and help you allocate your funds better.
Comfort is Key – No one learns well when they have a sore back from sitting in a bad chair for hours or if they’re too hot or freezing. So don’t just rely on photos—it’s best to visit the location and get a feel of the space to ensure it has a pleasant temperature, good lighting, and comfy chairs.
Prepare the Tech and Tools – Reliable Wi-Fi is a must, especially if there’s a video conference involved. It should be strong enough to handle all devices in the room, and whatever you need for the training, like flip charts, whiteboard, and projector, should be there and working.
Have you ever planned an event and then been shocked by the final bill? You won’t want that kind of surprise next time you organise a training session or conference. So before you start using your budget on anything, let’s discuss some of the expenses you should plan for when planning a training event.
Are there hidden fees in your feast?
Food will always be part of your training event. But have you thought about the service charges, corkage fees if you want to bring your own drinks and dishes, or minimum spending requirements for catering packages? They can quickly add up and might throw your budget off.
“Included” doesn’t always mean everything.
When venues say “AV included," don't assume it includes everything. It could only mean a basic projector and screen, so you have to bring your own or hire a vendor for monitors, cables, adapters, technical support in case something goes wrong, and more. But here's some great news: when you look for a place on Giggster, you can contact the host directly and take the guesswork out of everything.
What does it take to set the stage?
You want to get the training space set up right, but plan for delivery, setup, and teardown fees for any equipment you bring in yourself. You should also think about overtime fees if the training session runs late.
Giggster lets you break free from the boring and find training spaces that inspire. From bright lofts with city views in London, stylish Victorian houses with a cosy fireplace in Salford, or creative studios filled with art outside the British capital, we have a venue for every vibe and budget. A change of scenery can make a huge difference, so book a training venue on the Giggster app today!
