About Venue

Impress your delegates. A product launch, sales conference, management training programme or AGM can often be the most important occasion in your calendar so finding the right venue, complete with necessary facilities is crucial.
At the Kia Oval we believe that our facilities ensure that we can offer you complete flexibility for every conference and meeting need with our extensive and versatile facilities. We create the perfect event from enquiry to completion, backed by a team of dedicated event organisers. A variety of conference and events packages are available to suit most needs. However, the conference and events team have a philosophy of offering a bespoke service to all of its clients. For something a little different to round off your day, we can offer a tour of the ground, or the chance on selected Summer dates for delegates to stay on and watch the cricket after your meeting.

The room is ideal for medium sized conferences, seminars, lunches and dinners. The room includes access to a private terrace suitable for reception drinks or BBQ lunches, and feature superb views of the famous Oval wicket and Pavilion stand. The John Major room has a seperate entrance to the main conferences suites in the OCS stand, which gives the room more privacy. It also features John Major memorabilia.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The Oval Cricket Ground is more than just a stadium — it is a landmark of cricketing history. Located in South London, this iconic venue blends tradition, atmosphere, and world-class facilities in a way few grounds can match. From the moment you walk in, there’s a sense of heritage. The architecture, the pavilion, and the surrounding skyline create a uniquely English cricketing atmosphere. During international fixtures, the crowd energy is vibrant yet refined — passionate but respectful. Seating visibility is excellent across most sections, and the modern upgrades over recent years have enhanced comfort, food options, and overall organisation. The hospitality areas are particularly impressive, offering a premium match-day experience. What truly sets The Oval apart is its history. From Ashes deciders to unforgettable Test matches, it has witnessed some of cricket’s most defining moments. When the sun sets over the ground during an evening game, the atmosphere becomes unforgettable. Overall, The Oval remains one of the world’s finest cricket venues — a perfect balance of tradition, class, and sporting excellence. A must-visit for any serious cricket fan. 🇬🇧🏏✨
