Manchester Venues

Manchester’s industrial history shines through in Victoria Warehouse . It's a striking and unique space offering a variety of incredible spaces suitable for any event. The reclaimed industrial architecture, a testament to Manchester’s past, provides an incredible backdrop for events. Soaring steel beams and exposed brick make the perfect frame for any modern conference or business event looking to shake up the traditional. The C

London Venues

We live and breathe venues at Hire Space , so when we get the opportunity to showcase a truly fantastic one we grab it with both hands. So, last month we headed over to the Crystal with some of our clients for networking and an opportunity to show-off how the venue can be transformed for events. A building known for its angular, hyper-modern design isn't one you'd perhaps associate with an afterno

Google, Ben & Jerry's, Hilton and L'Occitane are just a handful of the impressive and diverse clients that the musical virtuosos at Storm DJs have worked with in the past. Both corporate and private events usually need a little something of the musical variety to provide a soundtrack to the evening. A birthday party may need a compilation of pop and hip-hop music to usher guests onto the dance floor, and some deep house once th

If you'll excuse the corny pun, Fabric has been part of the fabric of London nightlife ever since its original opening in 1999. Londoners will no doubt have heard of the nightclub in one way or another in the 18 years since its opening, as it's evident that it's secured a reputation as one of the trendsetters in the capital's clubbing world. What's perhaps less known is that Fabric

There are few venues in which you can entertain guests where not one, but several monarchs once lived. Those monarchs were Henry VIII, Elizabeth I, James I and Charles I, and that special venue is Oatlands Park Hotel . Today, it's an ideal balance between modern and historical, offering contemporary amenities for private functions, while retaining its rich history. This, after all, was where the dreaded King Henry VIII married h

As well as putting on its assorted cultural output, Rich Mix

Camden's unmistakeable Shaka Zulu is certainly not for the faint-hearted. From the décor of 20-foot warrior statues and carved wooden murals to the quirky menu of crocodile and springbok, it's definitely not your average, run-of-the-mill venue. The biggest South African restaurant in London is, after all, set over 27,000 square feet. The no-holds-barred feel is mesmerising as you're surrounded by fiery orange hues, and furnishings reflecting

Forming a vital part of the London 2012 complex, the Copper Box Arena was the home of handball, modern pentathlon, fencing and goalball during the Olympics and Paralympics five years ago. Today, it's the home ground for the London Lions basketball team, and still plays host to various sports from badminton to wheelchair rugby. "The Box that Rocks"

It's always humbling and necessary for us at Hire Space to be reminded of the charity-minded origins of the company, whereby our co-founders sought to find out-of-hours uses for educational spaces. So it gives us much pleasure to introduce venues such as the Queen Mary University Students' Union , which is a wonderful venue for various event types

You may have read the first instalment of our A to Z of Events. You may not have. But that's OK – this is not one of those "If you haven't seen the first season of Game of Thrones you won't follow the rest"-type things. As long as you've learned the middle section of the alphabet (and mastered that tricky L/M/N/O/P part), you're good to go. Here is the second part of our guide to everything venue-

In 1966, The Speakeasy Club opened on Marylebone's Margaret Street, and soon hosted some of the biggest names popular music has ever seen, from Jimi Hendrix to David Bowie. Today, the very same club is known as BEAT , and it pays homage to the legends hosted in its early speakeasy days by means of its artwork and soundtrack. It's partly this throwback ambience, and partly the urban, industrial décor with exposed brickwork that m

EventLAB Series

We've had a flurry of interest since we announced EventLAB a few months ago, which has got us pretty excited (just 5 months to go!). The event is designed to take planners through every step of the event planning process, through masterclasses, workshops and networking with the best in the biz. EventLAB will also showcase the top venues and suppliers from across the industry, so we thought we'd give you a bit of an

An event doesn't merely take place and then become forgotten – or, at least, it shouldn't. It lives on in memory , and the best way in which to capture the enjoyment and productivity of the event in our visual, digital-driven age is through photo and film.
