We asked Anne-Marie Parry – Corporate Events Manager at The NVA a few questions…
What are your favourite types of events to host at The NVA?
“I really enjoy team building days, and entire gallery take overs. They’re full of so much energy, and it’s great to get people out of their comfort zones doing something they’ll enjoy. We have a range of workshops and team building games for visitors to enjoy which mean that they get a lot out of their day.”
Which event at The NVA stands out in your memory?
“I hosted a Birthday party for one of our regular customers. He was turning 21 and hired out the galleries for his special day. All his friends and family were there and he even dressed up as Mario! It was one of those events that gives you a BIG smile across your face.”
What makes your venue unique from everywhere else in and around Nottingham?
“We host team building days in MineCraft. You can hire our Virtual Reality which comes with a dedicated crew member. We also provide company tournament days too. Plus we have 3 floors full of games old and new and because our activities are indoors it means we can cater for companies all year round. There’s loads of space and most of our building is wheelchair accessible, so events are inclusive.”
