We realise that often a website or hotel brochure does not do justice to a venue, therefore we actively organise a number of educational evenings and lunches at the hotels within our collection. These events allow you to sample the hotel for yourself and experience the luxury, ambiance and hospitality first hand.

A sample of upcoming events is available below, however should you wish to visit any of the hotels individually please do contact us directly.

  Perception Drinks Reception at Beyond Food by The Tower
22 September 2010
 
   
  We will be hosting our annual Perception drinks and canapé reception to coincide with the Square Meal Venues & Events Exhibition on Wednesday 22nd September at Beyond Food by The Tower.

Joining us on the evening will be representatives from a number of the hotels and venues from the Perception portfolio.

Beyond Food by The Tower is easily accessible from Old Billingsgate and the Venues & Events Exhibition, less than a five minute walk away. Beyond Food, the catering provider at the venue believes that people who have experienced homelessness should be inspired and supported to change their lives. They therefore work to provide work experience and on-job training within food production to help people realise their potential, a project that Perception are happy to be supporting.
