What are the pricing options for hiring the Pop-up space at Ministry of Sound?

Film shoots are charged at £5,500 for a 12-hour period or £8,500 for 24 hours, with additional hours at £600 per hour. For July and August events, complimentary venue hire is available with a guaranteed minimum bar spend requirement. Standard corporate event pricing varies based on event type and requirements.

What is the capacity and setup options for the Pop-up space?

The Pop-up space (Courtyard) can accommodate up to 500 guests and features a retractable canopy, outdoor bar, and greenery wall. The space is designed for pop-up shows, shops, food markets, and outdoor events with customizable lighting and branding opportunities.

What days of the week is the venue available for private events?

The venue runs club nights on Fridays and Saturdays and is not available for private hire on these days. All other days of the week are available for corporate and private events, subject to availability.

What mandatory additional costs should I budget for beyond the base hire fee?

Security is mandatory for all events and must be added to hire costs, though specific rates need to be discussed based on event requirements. Film shoots require security for the full duration, and all events may require additional staffing depending on the nature and size of the event.

What type of events does Ministry of Sound handle through their corporate team?

The corporate events team handles private hire bookings, conferences, product launches, fashion shows, film shoots, and corporate parties. They do not handle club nights, ticketed public events, or music events - these must be arranged directly through the club team via the Ministry of Sound website.

What are the access times and setup requirements for events?

Access times vary by event type and can be arranged from early morning. Film shoots include 12 or 24-hour periods in their base pricing, and additional setup time can be arranged at £600 per hour for extended access beyond the standard hire period.

What catering and bar options are available for Pop-up space events?

The space features an outdoor bar, and catering can be arranged through the venue or you can provide your own catering team. For summer events (July-August), there's a complimentary venue hire option that requires a guaranteed minimum bar spend instead of a hire fee.

What facilities and features are included with the Pop-up space?

The Pop-up space includes a retractable canopy for weather protection, an outdoor bar, greenery wall backdrop, customizable lighting system, and innovative branding opportunities. The space is specifically designed for temporary events like pop-up shops, food markets, and product showcases.

How far in advance should I book the Pop-up space?

Early enquiries are recommended, especially for summer dates (July-August) when complimentary hire is available, as these dates have limited availability. Christmas events typically sell out by summer, so advance booking is essential for peak periods.

What is the booking and payment process for the Pop-up space?

Initial enquiries are handled through the corporate events team who will provide bespoke proposals based on your requirements. Site visits can be arranged to view the space, and the team will work with you to finalize event details and payment terms based on your specific event needs.
