Who are we and what do we do?

Quentin Blake Centre for Illustration is a new cultural destination comprising galleries, learning spaces, a shop, a café and public gardens within a beautifully restored heritage site in Clerkenwell, London. We are due to open in spring 2026.

Illustration is everywhere. On your bookshelf, in your fridge, at the shops and on your social media feed, explaining, expressing, influencing.

Quentin Blake Centre is the UK’s first and only charity dedicated to illustration. We create opportunities to examine and create art that shares stories and ideas. We exhibit illustration from around the world, including the work of our founder Quentin Blake, and we develop projects with illustrators, schools and community groups, with a strong focus on people and stories that have been marginalised.

What are we seeking?

We are seeking to appoint a catering supplier to deliver an enticing and distinctive food and beverage service from the onsite café, meeting the needs of audiences and casual walk-in visitors. There is potential to extend the catering offer across the outdoor spaces.

We also invite potential suppliers to propose approaches to delivering event catering as part of this tender, supporting our venue hire business.

Please download the brief and invitation to tender for further details and instructions on how to submit a bid.
