Old Spitalfields Market for exhibitions, fashion shows and conferences
Old Spitalfields Market sits inside the Grade II listed Horner Buildings, between London's financial district and its East End, and has become an iconic London attraction.
More than 1,400m² of dry hire space
More than 1,400m² of dry hire space gives hirers a rare open floor for exhibitions, experiential events, receptions and fashion shows, and leaves a Shoreditch conference with floor space to spare as one more option. Cultural celebrations fit equally well, and the market hosts public and private events alike, from exhibitions to conferences and receptions.
7,000 people at one event
The market recently hosted over 7,000 people at the Vans Downtown Showdown, an international skateboarding event. A couple of weeks later, over 200 designers showcased their talents at the Craft Council's Origin: The Contemporary Craft fair, so public crowds and trade audiences are both familiar.
Brands that have hired the space
Ribena, Sky, Thomson Reuters, London Jewellery Week and the London Restaurant Festival have all chosen the market for their events. That record suits events with an East End edge in London, and delegate programmes alongside receptions work well for corporate hosts too.
