An Away Day Venue in East London

Full day venue hire at The Hackney starts from £2,000 + VAT for the whole venue, 9am to 11pm, with your venue manager, furniture and AV included. Further staff are priced to your event.

The Hackney seats up to 60 and holds up to 100 standing. The space reconfigures for presentations, workshops, dining or networking. If you need more than 100 standing, we are probably not the right fit, and we are happy to say so.

Yes. The Hackney is exclusive hire only, so your team has the whole building for the day: the Winter Garden, The Lounge, The Covered Terrace and The Bar Area. No other events, no shared spaces and nobody else at lunch.

The Hackney includes a projector, screens, a sound system covering the whole venue and wifi throughout in the venue hire. Tell us what your sessions need during planning and we will confirm what is included and what needs bringing in.

The Hackney has its own kitchen and bar team, and they cater the whole day, from breakfast through to evening: canapes, bowl food and three-course meals, with signature cocktails from the bar if the day ends with drinks. Every dietary requirement is catered for, including vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, halal and kosher. If you would rather bring your own caterer or bar, a buy-out applies, and the full pricing is in our pricing guide. Get the pricing guide.

The Hackney is at 503 Hackney Road, London E2 9ED. Cambridge Heath Overground is a 2-minute walk and Bethnal Green Underground on the Central line is 9 minutes away. There is no on-site parking; Hackney Road has metered parking during the day and free parking from 7pm to 8am.

Honestly, not fully. The Hackney is a Victorian brewery with a protected facade, so there is a 15cm step at the entrance and the pavement is too narrow for a permanent ramp. The doorway is wide enough for a wheelchair with a little help. We do not currently have accessible toilets. If this matters for anyone on your team, tell us up front and we will be straight with you.

Yes. The Hackney runs venue visits so you can walk every space with us and talk through how your day could run. Book a visit through our Check Your Date page.
