Stella McCartney’s Flash Mob

Posted on Feb 24 In - Events, Fashion, Photography, Studio Four, Studio One, Suite A

We were proud to host Stella’s fabulous flash mob rehearsals in our Suite A last week ahead of the real thing which kicked off London Fashion Week this season. Forget dreary old conventional catwalk, this was surround-fashion: Yasmin Le Bon and Amber Valetta dancing on tables and chairs, Shalom Harlow throwing diva-like shapes.

Stella’s first London show in sixteen years was definitely a star-studded night to remember. “This is London,” said McCartney. “I wanted to do something bold.”

Bird’s Eye Conference

Posted on Jan 28 In - Events, Studio One, Studio Three, Studio Two

Delegates arrived in to Talbot Hall for some much needed coffee before moving in to Main Hall for a morning presentation, but as the delegates were about to find out this was no ordinary conference. The afternoon session in Rootes Hall made fantastic use of the space, the Bird’s Eye staff were set a ‘Ready Steady Cook’ style challenge under the watchful eye of celebrity chef John Torode. Whilst judging the delegate’s efforts Chef Torode commented that one of the dishes was the best soup he’d ever tasted, not bad for an afternoon’s work!


Pringles & Glee Mash Up Party

Posted on Nov 27 In - Events, Music, Studio Three, Studio Two, Suite B

To celebrate the release of the Glee Season 1 DVD boxset, Pringles and Fox teamed up to bring a day of Glee mania to 100 competition winners. Sunbeam’s Main Hall was transformed into a high school auditorium, the competition winners were spoilt with singing and dancing lessons as well as American themed food courtesy of Purple Grape. The gleeks got to dress up in lots of fun costumes and at the end of the day Eliza Doolittle hosted the final performances by the gleeks who got to relive their favourite scenes on their very own Glee stage. Everyone went home with glee bags crammed full of goodies and a big smile on their gleek faces.

Sunbeam Launch Party in association with ISES Talks

Posted on Nov 02 In - Events, Exclusive Hire, Studio Four, Studio One, Studio Three, Studio Two, Sustainability

Held in association with ISES Talks we were able to launch our brand new Studios One and Four to the event industry. At Sunbeam we are dedicated to operating in a sustainable fashion. Therefore our goal for the evening was to inspire our peers in the event industry to make a change and think about the impact our choices make. We were very grateful to Duncan Goose, founder of The One Foundation, who came along to talk about his amazing story which certainly inspired all of us.

Many of our partners contributed to the evening in their own special ecological way. To add a little fun to our task of finding sustainable energy sources, Magnificent Revolution brought along their bicycle powered generators which provided the energy to our sound system. Needless to say the evening was well received and demonstrated how doing the right thing is achievable and very exciting!

Nina Ricci Product Launch

Posted on Jul 15 In - Events, Fashion, Music, Studio One, Studio Three, Studio Two, Suite E

Nina Ricci’s release of their new perfume was marked with an elegant and sophisticated product launch at Sunbeam Studios in collaboration with Velvet Living. Guests arrived for a canapé and drinks reception in Talbot Hall and moved into our Main Hall for a presentation by a Nina Ricci representative. Guests were then invited into our brand new Rootes Hall for a special performance set to a backdrop of Nina Ricci trademark red apples and a red forest setting. As the first event to take place in the new studio this was a very elegant start to what we’re sure will be an exciting event filled-year in our new space.

 

Burma Hole in Your Pocket Charity Dinner

Posted on Nov 23 In - Events, Studio Three, Studio Two

In Aung San Suu Kyi’s honour, friends got together for the second annual Burma Hole in Your Pocket Charity Dinner. Their goal was to raise money for and the profile of Prospect Burma, a small charity working to continue the education of exiled Burmese in the hope that one day they can return to rebuild their country.

Over 150 guests including Harry Enfield and Antonio Carluccio gathered for the premiere of Moving to Mars, a film following two families exiled from Burma which was projected across our cinema-screen sized cove. Guests dined on food donated by The Island and the venue was lit by our partners at Halo Lighting. For more information or to support Prospect Burma please see their website.

Sunbeam Studios was proud to host such an event and we look forward to doing similar events in the future.
