Which transport links best serve Shoreditch venues for 50 people?

Choose a venue within a 5-minute walk of Old Street (Northern Line), Shoreditch High Street (Overground) or Liverpool Street (Central, Overground). Frequent bus routes (55, 135, N55) run along Curtain Road and Kingsland Road. Provide a Santander cycle-dock map—closest docks at Rivington Street (20 bikes) and Great Eastern Street (15 bikes).

How can I plan for outdoor or rooftop events for 50 in Shoreditch?

Book spaces with both outdoor terrace and indoor backup. Confirm roof loading (max 80kg/m²), wind-rated shading and weather-proof AV. Factor in portable heaters (£50–£75 each) for evening events and a clear contingency: 2-hour indoor fallback slot included in hire. Secure temporary flooring (£15–£20/m²) to protect surfaces.

What AV package do Shoreditch warehouses include for 50 people?

Most converted Shoreditch warehouses offer a standard AV bundle: 5k lumen projector, 8-channel PA with 2 lectern mics, wireless headset mic, 55" LCD monitor, HDMI patch and 250W speakers. Expect to pay an additional £200–£350 if you need lighting rigs or video conferencing codecs.

What licences do I need to host 50 attendees in Shoreditch?

For private corporate events under 100 guests, you’ll need a Temporary Event Notice (TEN) for alcohol sales, valid for up to 500 people and 168 hours. If you play live music, a separate Live Music Licence applies. Venues typically hold these licences—confirm status on booking and allow 10 working days for TEN approval.

What is the typical deposit for hiring a creative space for 50 guests?

Most Shoreditch venues request a 20–25% non-refundable deposit on the hire fee, due on signing contracts. Balance is usually payable 14–21 days before the event. For peak days (Tuesday–Thursday), some venues may require 30% upfront to secure booking.

How should I budget catering for a 50-person event in Shoreditch?

Allocate £25–£35 per head for a simple working lunch (sandwiches, salads, fruit), £45–£60 for a hot buffet and £75–£100 for a three-course seated menu. Add £5–£8pp for hot beverages and £10–£15pp for evening canapés. Confirm corkage if you supply alcohol or use venue’s bar package at £5–£8 per drink.

What layout works best for a 50-person workshop in Shoreditch?

Use cabaret style: five 5-person tables facing a central speaker area. Leave a 2m wide central aisle. Provide four breakout zones along perimeter walls with high-tops for group work. Ensure AV visibility by placing screens at each end of the room 3–4m from the front tables.
