Venue finder insight
By Carrie Larwood, MD Function Fixers
Historic venues can provide an atmosphere that’s almost impossible to recreate in a modern event space, but always check the practical details. Listed buildings can sometimes have restrictions around production, access, sound levels or what can be attached to walls and floors. I’d also check accessibility, AV and loading access early on; you want all the character without discovering limitations too late.
