Core Clapton for workshops, exhibitions and wedding receptions
Core Clapton is a former Edwardian parish hall in Upper Clapton, turned into a blank canvas for events in East London, with a 6m high vaulted barrel ceiling over the Old Parish Hall.
Whole building, kitchen and PA
Hire covers the whole building and outdoor space on an exclusive basis, with the professional kitchen, a PA system and microphone, a site manager for the duration and free wifi all included, so you can dress the hall from scratch and run the day your own way. Access runs from 8am until 12am, which leaves a full working day for building a set, running the event and clearing down afterwards.
Two rooms plus step-free access
The Main Hall seats 180 and receives 220 standing, while the Ground Floor seats 120 and receives 150, across 220 sq m of usable space. A ramp and lift make the building fully accessible, and there is room to set out vaulted-ceiling displays without crowding the floor.
Workshops with a kitchen on hand
The kitchen and outdoor space give workshops room to spread out, and hands-on group sessions can run between the two. Wedding receptions, photoshoots and parties fit the hall just as easily.
Brand launches and meetings
Product launches, meetings and corporate days can share the hall, set out to suit whatever brand or layout comes through the door.
