Frequently asked questions
What are the seasonal availability restrictions I need to know about?
The venue is completely unavailable from late June through July, August, and September due to large rehearsals that occupy the entire venue. Additionally, from November 24th to December 17th, the venue hosts KIN London's Christmas Social and is not available for other bookings outside of that partnership.
What types of events are prohibited at Shoreditch Town Hall?
Club nights are not permitted due to the listed status of the building and the nature of the cultural programme. Sporting events are also not allowed, despite the venue's historical use as a boxing venue.
How does the booking confirmation process work?
No agreement exists until a contract and full terms & conditions are signed by both parties and all hire fees and charges are paid in full. Any enquiry or discussion should never be taken as confirmation, and the venue reserves the right to vary or cancel hires without liability.
What is the venue's approach to programming and event approval?
Shoreditch Town Hall runs a fully curated cultural programme, meaning all shows are developed in consultation with the venue. Events must align with their cultural programming vision, and potential hirers should review their previous productions and programming approach before enquiring.
How does the provisional booking system work?
The venue operates a tiered booking system with first, second, and third options. A first option means provisional hold, second option means you're next in line if the first cancels, and third option means two other events are ahead of you for the same date.
What catering arrangements are available?
The venue operates primarily on a dry hire basis, allowing external caterers of choice. They have featured catering suppliers who have previously worked at the venue, and can provide an in-house bar service with a separate Bar Hire Guide available.
What production and technical services can be provided in-house?
Full production services are available in-house including audio, video, and lighting equipment. Bespoke production quotes are provided based on specific requirements, with detailed information available in their Production Guide.
What furniture and setup arrangements are included?
Folding chairs and trestle tables are available on site, and external furniture and décor can be sourced from suppliers. It is the hirer's responsibility to set up and clear down the space unless discussed with the venue in advance, with this time factored into the hire period.
Are there capacity limits for different seating arrangements?
For larger theatre-style events, up to 500 Matrix seats can be installed in the Assembly Hall with an additional 250 seats available in the balcony. Specific capacity depends on the chosen layout and space configuration.
What kitchen facilities are available for catering?
There are no permanent kitchens on site, however the Old Servery space adjoining the Assembly Hall can be used by caterers to set up the equipment they need for food preparation and service.
