This is a chance to reconnect with some of London’s best suppliers but also to welcome new companies who will enhance and elevate the event offer at The HAC. We will be looking for companies who have experience working with historical and unique venues to ensure our historical venues and 5 acres of grounds are treated with care and respect. A key focus of the application will be a focus on partners who have strong sustainability, EDI and working ethics."
