Recent Testimonials
OXFAM
Further to the conference we held at the Kings Centre with you last week I would like to thank you on behalf of myself and facilitators for a very successfully organised event. The venue was of a high quality and noissues were encountered which very much helped with the overall smooth running of the event. Our participants were very impressed with the service received and we also received great feedback on the food provided. I will definitely recommend the venue to colleagues and hope to be able to work with you again in future events.

Heartcry for Change
Just a note to say a personal thank you for all your assistance with the Legacy Conference. We had a wonderful day and the delegates all enjoyed it very much. We've had lots of positive comments and feedback :) Thank you for your help on the day as well as in the run up. You seemed to always be on hand when I looked round to find someone to ask about something.

Order of St John Care Trust
We use The King’s Centre for events every year and always get an amazing service. Staff are friendly, always happy to help, and go over and above to make our events run smoothly. The Catering Team is outstanding and at our Awards Event the display of freshly baked cakes was a perfect end to a great day!
