Hackney Bridge for live performances, awards and canalside parties
Hackney Bridge is a multi-purpose canalside venue in East London, with hireable spaces from the Event Space to the Lower Tier Gardens.
Gardens that catch the sun
The canalside gardens capture the sun all day and into the evening, which gives events under open skies a long, bright window before dark. The Lower Tier Gardens seat 600 and take 2,000 standing, and the Terraces add room for 120 seated or 150 on their feet. A street food kitchen serves an array of cuisines, with the Hangar Bar alongside.
Studios, shops and street food
The site is home to creative coworking studios, independent retail stores and dedicated event spaces, so a team day or private party has food and drink on the doorstep.
Screenings, shows and the Mezzanine
The Event Space is a large blank canvas that seats 160 to 250 and receives 400 standing, with the Mezzanine taking 120 seated or 200 on their feet. Awards, screenings, exhibitions and live performances all fit, as does a staff celebration beside the canal for firms wanting more than an office function.
Parties in the gardens
Private parties make the most of sunlit evenings outdoors, with the Hangar Bar close at hand. Because the larger spaces are blank canvas, hosts can dress them to suit any party.
