Join us for a truly unique opportunity to witness the regeneration of Olympia. Built as a venue for events and exhibitions almost 140 years ago, it is now being transformed into a world-leading showcase for global culture, live entertainment, innovation, and creativity.
Step behind the scenes (while we are under construction) for a guided tour and learn about the history of the development, including the inspiration behind the project, a new vision brought to life by Heatherwick Studio and SPPARC. The tour will take you behind closed doors, showcasing what's to come, including the historical Grade II* listed Pillar Hall, the Music Hall, restaurants, Hotels, and public realm.
This is your first—and only—chance to step into the future of London entertainment before anyone else.
Your journey will begin at our Olympia Marketing Suite, where you'll be kitted out with all the necessary Personal Protective Equipment. From there, you'll embark on an exciting one-hour tour of the site.
