Dry hire or blank canvas venues are those that are provided to event organisers without any additional features available other than the fabric of the building. This means that you can book the venue without the catering, furniture, entertainment, or any type of installation.

This proves especially popular for organisers who then have the chance to work with an interesting location, enjoying total control of every aspect of the event right through from sourcing their own caterers, equipment and props, set design and AV. Some venues have a preferred supplier list, meaning that you must choose one of them to provide each aspect of your event, but some are more relaxed and give you a free rein to choose whichever suppliers you want.

We have an extensive range of dry hire venues, from contemporary and stylish to more urban and underground making them suitable for a wide range of events.

By choosing a blank canvas or dry hire venue, you will be given an entirely blank canvas to work with. This means that you can give your production team full creative control of your event. Sometimes clients are working with a specific budget, so this type of venue offers the perfect solution – once you have established the hire fee that venue charges, you can control the budget from thereon in and cut your cloth accordingly.

Hire fees are charged either on a daily, weekly or monthly basis depending upon the duration of your event.

Dry hire venues are particularly suited to product launches, trade shows, fashions shows, exhibitions, themed parties and weddings where the client wishes to stamp his mark on the event and totally personalise it.

Whatever event you are planning, you can be sure that by hiring a dry hire venue, you will have the creative canvas to build your event ensuring that it is a great success.
