How do I make a booking
Tables and individual tickets can be booked through our online booking system. Once you’ve made your booking, you’ll receive a personalised link allowing you to manage it at any time.
How many guests can sit at a table?
Each table seats 10 guests. If you’d like to seat up to 12, email us and we will do our best to accommodate – annualdinner@fla.org.uk
Can I buy a single ticket?
Yes. If you’re booking solo or in a smaller group, we’ll seat you on mixed company tables to ensure a great networking experience.
How are tables allocated?
All guests will be seated on the ground floor; there is no balcony seating.
Tables are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. To encourage networking, organisations will generally be grouped by membership category (asset, consumer and motor finance). A limited number of tables are reserved for event partners and VIP guests.
While we will do our best to accommodate seating requests, final allocations remain at the FLA’s discretion.
How will my guests receive their tickets?
Each guest will receive an electronic ticket by email, complete with a personalised QR code for entry. The booking contact will also receive copies for their records.
Please ensure you provide an email address for each guest.

What is the Code of Conduct?
We are committed to providing a safe, welcoming and inclusive event for everyone.
The FLA operates a zero-tolerance approach to discrimination, harassment and inappropriate behaviour. Guests are expected to behave respectfully and drink responsibly. The use of illegal drugs is strictly prohibited.
If you are hosting guests, please ensure they are aware of and comply with the FLA’s Code of Conduct.
Anyone who breaches the Code of Conduct may be asked to leave the event without refund and may be subject to further action.
What do I need to know about Competition Law?
All FLA meetings and events, including social events, are subject to the application of competition law and therefore must be conducted in compliance with Competition Law. In particular, members must not make any agreement with other members (either directly or indirectly through the FLA) on what prices/terms they will transact with customers/brokers/suppliers, and must not disclose any information (either directly or indirectly through the FLA) which is commercially sensitive to their own organisation, or which could be strategically useful to other members.
If a member considers that another member has disclosed/intends to disclose such information they should object to its disclosure and seek legal advice. Examples of such information include any reference to pricing, margins, discounts, trading terms, use of third-party suppliers, market share, employee pay/terms, customer lists, new product plans etc.
Members are reminded that failure to comply with competition law may bring with it serious consequences for them as individuals and their companies (as well as the FLA itself). Such consequences include heavy fines and, in certain cases, the imposition of criminal penalties and sentences.
