If you are interested in hiring a part of the Centre for a major event please email hayliethorpe@westway.org.
We will look at all proposals but always strive to ensure minimum disruption to our programme of public sports activity and youth sports development. As a result we have to limit the number of events we can hold across each period of the year, so if you are thinking of a date, even one a long way in the future, please get in touch - major events on the scale of Stella McCartney’s A-List extravaganza often have a six month planning timeframe at venue-level!
Elle Style Awards 2008
This year's Elle Style Awards on February 12th 2008 saw the glitterati of London Fashion Week visiting Westway again. Urban Caprice ran the show like Clockwork. Elle handed out the gongs and everyone from Kylie Minogue to Naomi Campbell attended with Alexa Chung handling presenting duties.
One of the Westway's cavernous spaces was transformed into bar and dining areas with full awards stage for the formal part of the evening including dinner. Then the partying continued after dinner with up to 900 guests gracing the huge 26,000 square foot plus hall, which normally houses 4 of the Centre's 12 tennis courts.

Stella McCartney's London Fashion Week show in 2007
The event follows the success of last September's Stella McCartney for Adidas show at Westway, where the designer launched her collection from Adidas at the climax of the September 07 London Fashion Week. The Stella McCartney show had also taken a radical approach to transforming the Centre with a similar space transformed into a range of areas including a crazy golf course with real turf! Guests were brought to the Centre in golf buggies along a tree-lined and flower decked tunnel.
