Au revoir in a jar

We like to be the leaders of the pack, the top dogs, the trend setters and to do this we pride ourselves on producing new and exciting ideas.

As a thank you for coming to look around our venue we always like to send our clients on their way with a little treat. In the past we have offered homemade cookies, DIY risotto kits, branded bags and logo imposed travel card holders. We would now like to introduce the new kid on the block, the DIY savoury popcorn kit!

Just to say ‘thanks for popping by’ whether you rush home to start popping or keep it in the cupboard for a rainy Saturday night in we’re sure you’re going to love this little au revoir in a jar.

All you need to do to get your hands on this little goodie is ‘pop’ in to 41 Portland Place and discuss your next event with us.

For all those other event profs out there who are thinking of trying something similar I have put together my top 10 ideas below:

1. DIY risotto kit 

2. Homemade treats presented in a paper bag secured with a mini peg 

3. Homemade cookies 

4. DIY porridge kit for those early morning site visits 

5. Make your own cookies 

6. Mini watering can and a pack of seeds 

7. fabric keepsakes with homemade jam 

8. Mulled wine spices 

9. Branded travel card holders 

10. S'mores in a jar

Prince Philip House

Last week I had the privilege of working at Prince Philip House to cover Sales and Marketing Manager Becci Thomson’s annual leave. The Grade I listed building which overlooks The Mall and St James Park is one of 11 Harbour and Jones Events venues within London.

A new kid on the block in the London venue scene- Prince Philip House which is the home to the Royal Academy of Engineering launched last November and has quickly become a major player in the events world.

The historic venue on Carlton House Terrace is the perfect setting for any product launch, press conference or canapé reception.

The 8 spaces which conveniently interconnect are an excellent fitting for training events and meetings where multiple breakouts are required.

This month PPH hosted the first ever Prudential Ride London. The event developed by the Mayor of London Boris Johnson continues the active legacy initiated by the Olympics and intends to allow professionals and amateurs, old and young to take in the sights of London whilst getting fit. The event welcomed over 500 cycling enthusiasts to feast on Harbour & Jones cream teas whilst cheering on participants from the terrace. You can read more about the event here.

After working at 41 Portland Place for over a year and a half it was nice to share my experiences with another venue whilst absorbing the processes they have in place.

The entire team were so welcoming and it was a delight to be an honorary member for the week.

It’s now time to pack up my pen pot and get back to 41 Portland Place ready for a busy September to begin.
