What kind of events does El Born CCM suit?
El Born is one of the few venues in the old town where several hundred people can sit down under a single roof. The market's great iron structure, with the archaeological site in full view, makes a powerful setting with little staging. We suggest it for gala dinners at conventions and congresses, product launches and conferences with a drinks reception.

Getting there
The main entrance is at Plaça Comercial, 12, opposite Passeig del Born. Jaume I (L4) and Barceloneta (L4) metro stations are a few minutes away, and Arc de Triomf (L1 and Rodalies) is a short walk. Coaches can stop around the Parc de la Ciutadella.
Production tips
- A cultural venue. The centre has its own programme and visitors. Large set-ups fit into specific days: confirm dates before committing to them.
- In-house technicians. To use the AV equipment in the Sala Moragues, you need to hire the venue's regular technicians. Include this in the budget.
- Archaeological site. The remains cannot be walked on or loaded. The layout of tables, bars and stage follows the permitted routes.
- Acoustics. Under an iron and glass roof, sound bounces. Zoned sound and a good in-house technician make all the difference to speeches.
What works well nearby
Llotja de Mar is a five-minute walk away, ideal for a welcome reception beforehand. For working meetings in the centre, Foment del Treball on Via Laietana. And if your programme continues by the sea, the Drassanes Reials round off a tour of historic Barcelona.
