You might have heard on the grapevine that we've decided to crowdfund and are just about to launch our campaign. Maybe you're intrigued but you're not quite sure what we're talking about? Well, we've put together a quick and easy guide. Tell me more... Crowdfunding is an alternative method of financing a business, which allows everyday investors, professionals and venture capitalists to invest as little or as much as they like, typically through an online platform.

Hire Space

Every now and again Hire Space take some time out from finding venues to throw a party for our clients.

Hire Space has grown to become the UK’s leading venue marketplace, with over 4000 venues and over 2 million web visitors. But how did it all begin? 2012 The idea for Hire Space came about when Will was a secondary school teacher, and Ed was a political advisor. Will's school had recently been forced to turn to emergency funding, and Ed was campaigning to save recession-hit venues from closure. They decided that a solution for both problems could be to help these struggling businesses to rent o

The longest and tallest slide in the world. Yes, our world that stretches an area of 510.1 million km² – and no one has ever put a longer or taller slide on any spot on it than the one we were about to ride. Forgive my retrospective freak-out: I've never been one for rides. I was a queasy mess at Chessington. Big Thunder Mountain at Disney is more my speed. Scratch that: the teacups are more my speed. There is nothing, I repeat nothing, reassuring as you approach the ArcelorMittal Orbit

It's probably safe to assume that few folks would imagine there to be an 18th-Century mansion in five acres of gardens a two-minute walk away from Old Street station. That's why it's a pleasant surprise to learn that The HAC ticks all those boxes. The majestic estate, built in 1735, is home to the Honourable Artillery Company, which was incorporated by Henry VIII 200 years earlier. Since then, the company has supported the Honourable Artillery

Size matters. For whatever reason, sometimes only an enormous space will do, be it due to the length of the guest list, or just the will to impress invitees with a space of sheer proportions. London has a wealth of high-capacity venues; here are just a handful of the biggest rooms on offer. 1.

Located in the heart of the City, Salters’ Hall combines the rich heritage of the salt trade of medieval London with contemporary surroundings. Rebuilt in 1972 by Basil Spence and now a Grade II listed building, it is a rare example of a post-war livery building and has remained largely untouched until now... Architects de Metz Forbes Knight (dMFK) were tasked with the project to upgrade the building whilst retaining its sense of history and al

It's not often you see Bacardi and 10 Downing Street on the same client list. But it's due to the diversity of Bassline Productions ’ services that the two very distinct establishments chose the company to provide bespoke support for their respective functions. The list of big-name clients doesn't end there, but continues with Battersea Fireworks and The Edinburgh Fringe Festival, where Bassline's talents were again lent in various capacities. Yet its ser

It's all very well getting a bartender to mix a few drinks together and call it a cocktail. But that's not what Clerkenwell & Social is about. They're into infusions. And now, so are we. There's a lot of lingo bounding about at the moment, offering variations on the word 'fusion' - Korean-Mexican fusions ('korexican') being an absolute classic. But infusion cocktails are no gimmick or new-fangled concept. Infusion is a technical process that's as old as tea. Source: Unknown The technique in

Unquestionably, the big trend that has emerged in venues this year is the bold, stark, and raw look of industrial venues. By restoring old Victorian factories and warehouses, and not making the mistake of covering up original features, these designers are really bringing something new to the venue scene - something that's historical and yet fresh at the same time.
