Event Halls in Lekki Phase 1 — What to Know Before You Book in 2026

Lekki Phase 1 has become one of the most active event markets in Lagos.


The combination of a dense, affluent resident population, a growing corporate presence, and easy access from Victoria Island, Ikoyi, and Ajah has made Lekki Phase 1 a natural centre for celebrations, product launches, corporate functions, and private gatherings of every kind.


The demand for event halls in Lekki Phase 1 has never been higher than it is in 2026.

What hasn't kept pace is the transparency.


Most people looking for an event hall in Lekki Phase 1 either get referred by word of mouth to a venue they've never seen, or they find a listing with no price, no real photos, and a contact that requires three phone calls to get any useful information.


This guide changes that.


The Landscape - Event Hall in Lekki Phase 1


Lekki Phase 1 has several venues operating as event halls: hotel ballrooms, standalone hall rentals, mall-based venues, and private compound spaces. Each category has different trade-offs.


Hotel ballrooms in Lekki Phase 1 tend to offer good finishing and in-house catering but charge significantly more than standalone hall rentals, often with mandatory minimum spend requirements on food and beverages.


Standalone hall rentals vary enormously in quality. Some are excellent.

Others are well-priced because they cut corners on generator backup, cleaning, or crowd management.


Mall-based event halls in Lekki Phase 1 offer a middle ground that most event planners underutilise: the venue is professionally maintained because it exists within a managed property, the facilities are shared across the building (parking, restrooms, elevators), and the price is transparent without the hotel's mandatory add-on structure.


Banex Mall's event spaces on Akiogun Road represent the best-documented option in this category in Lekki Phase 1 today.


Four Event Halls in Lekki Phase 1 (One Location)


All four halls are inside Banex Mall at Plot 1–10 Akiogun Road, Opposite Maroko Filling Station, Oniru, Lekki Phase 1.


The building has lift and escalator access, constant electricity and generator backup across all floors, and parking for over 100 cars.


Church Hall — Lekki Phase 1's Largest Dedicated Event Hall

₦850,000 | 170 guests | 203 SQM | Built-in stage | Soundproofed


If you are planning a wedding in Lekki Phase 1, a large corporate conference, or any event that will seat more than 130 people, the Church Hall is the starting point for your comparison.


The built-in stage is the feature that most event planners in Lekki Phase 1 name first when discussing this hall.


Hiring a separate stage for an event in Lekki costs between ₦50,000 and ₦200,000 depending on the setup, that cost is already absorbed into the ₦850,000 rental.


The soundproofing is not a marketing claim: it is a constructed feature of the room, which matters for bands, live performances, and prayer events where sound management is a genuine operational concern.


Included without additional charge:


  • 170-seater arrangement,
  • pre-installed chairs,
  • extra chairs on request at additional cost,
  • constant electricity and generator backup,
  • built-in air conditioning,
  • TV for projection,
  • soundproofed hall,
  • built-in stage,
  • lift and escalator access,
  • clean restrooms,
  • dedicated cleaners for post-event clean-up, and
  • parking for over 100 cars.


The social media coverage package — featuring your event on Banex Mall's channels before, during, and after is included and genuinely useful for corporate events and brand launches.


Studio Hall — Lekki Phase 1's Most Versatile Mid-Size Event Hall

₦650,000 | 130 guests | 109 SQM | TV access | Full facilities


The Studio Hall is the event hall in Lekki Phase 1 that works for the widest range of client types.

Corporate organisations booking a training session for 80–100 people. A family planning a birthday for 100–120 guests.


A professional body hosting a seminar. An NGO running a community gathering. The Studio Hall fits all of these without the overhead of the Church Hall or the size constraints of the hourly spaces.


At ₦650,000, it is ₦200,000 less than the Church Hall while still offering the full facilities package: generator backup, air conditioning, clean restrooms, dedicated cleaners, parking, and TV access.


For events where a stage is not required, the ₦200,000 difference is straightforward savings.


Cinema Hall — The Most Unique Event Hall in Lekki Phase 1

₦600,000 | 100 guests | Pre-installed cinema seating | Cinema-grade projector and screen | Soundproofed


There is no other event hall in Lekki Phase 1 that combines a proper cinema room with event hall rental.


The Cinema Hall at Banex Mall is the right answer for events where the experience is the attraction: a private film screening for a group, a corporate product launch that centres on a video presentation, a birthday celebration themed around a film night, or a conference session where the audio-visual quality needs to be exceptional.


The popcorn and concession stand available within the hall is a practical detail that event planners appreciate; it handles the light refreshments question without requiring a separate catering arrangement.


At ₦600,000 for 100 guests, this is the most distinctive cost-per-head event hall offering in Lekki Phase 1.


Studio Hall (Hourly) — Lekki Phase 1's Most Flexible Event Space

₦35,000/hr (rehearsals) | ₦50,000/hr (events) | 80 persons | 100 SQM | Full-length mirrors | Soundproofed


The hourly pricing model is what separates this space from every other event hall in Lekki Phase 1.


A four-hour corporate workshop costs ₦200,000. A three-hour dance rehearsal costs ₦105,000. A six-hour private event costs ₦300,000. Compared to flat-rate daily rentals elsewhere in Lekki Phase 1, this is the most honest structure in the market for events that don't require a full day.


The full-length mirrors, rigging points for lights and drapes, and the freedom to customise decoration make this a rehearsal space that functions as an event hall rather than a bare hall that tolerates rehearsals.


That distinction matters for dance companies, theatre groups, fitness instructors, and any creative organisation that needs both practise space and presentation space.


What Every Event Hall in Lekki Phase 1 Should Include — A Checklist


Use this when comparing any event hall in Lekki Phase 1:

  • Constant electricity and generator backup
  • Built-in air conditioning (not fans)
  • Accurate capacity figures (chairs arranged properly, not maximum density)
  • Parking sufficient for your expected guest count
  • Clean restrooms maintained during the event
  • Post-event clean-up included or clearly priced
  • Lift access if the hall is above ground floor
  • Written confirmation of price with no surprise additions on the day


All four Banex Mall event halls meet every item on this checklist.
