Corporate event organisers were invited to the venue in London's Covent Garden for dinner catered by Searcys, the museum’s on-site caterer. 

Guests enjoyed a champagne and canapé reception in the cubic foyer, before moving through to the museum galleries where they were given a tour led by actors, including a Victorian flower market girl, a 1920s housewife and a 19th century fireman.

A miner digging tunnels for the deep underground lines in 1900 showed off the Digging Deeper exhibition, while a Victorian policeman made sure all guests were marched to their tables named after London venues for dinner. 

Searcy’s served cured salmon with capers and quails egg and parsnip soup with hazelnut crisps, followed by sirloin of beef and with a museum high tea for dessert. 

To round off the evening, a prize draw to win a wine presentation box and a whisky decanter was held before guests had the chance to jump on the bouncy bus, along with a game of guess the tube stations as part of the CBS Look for Longer exhibition.

Julie Lynn, venue marketing and sales manager, said: "We are delighted that so many event organisers attended our showcase event last night. 

"The highlights were the exquisite food by Searcys, the actor experience and the bouncy bus which was hugely entertaining and made the evening a storming success."
