Blank canvases are without doubt the most versatile venue style on offer, keeping the possibilities truly endless and allowing you to let out your creative side when it comes to planning your next event. Though all of the venues featured in this section come in a finish that is neutral or minimalistic enough to be tailored to suit your own requirements, there is still a surprising amount of variety, from converted warehouses to contemporary apartments, and photographic studios to vast halls. Due to the very nature of their adaptable style, blank canvases are used for a broad range of events, including fashion shows, product launches, conferences, parties and press events, though they are a particularly popular choice for wedding receptions, since they give you the scope to transform the space into your dream venue, and so we invite you to browse our collection of venues to hire in London and let your imagination run free!

If you are looking for the perfect venue for your event and can’t seem to find the one that matches your vision, then a blank canvas space might be exactly what you need! These can be set up and decorated exactly as you want them to be. When you have a certain idea in mind of how you want things to look, sometimes it’s best to just take a blank canvas and start painting! They still come in all different styles and sizes, which will impact on the overall look of your event, but with so many blank canvas spaces for hire in London, there’s one for every occasion.
Due to the versatility of these spaces, you
can really tailor them for any of your needs. There’s no end to the type of
events you can hold in a space that you have complete control over. Yes, it might
mean a little bit more organisation, but in our opinion, it’s totally worth it.
Wedding Reception
Using a blank canvas venue has become a
really popular option for wedding receptions in recent years. It’s a way that
you can really express your individuality as a couple by making it completely
bespoke to what you both want. It’s incredible how some of these venues can be
turned into the perfect place for a reception. Whatever the focus of your day
is, be it food, dancing, or just the fact that all of your friends and family
are in the same room, a blank canvas can let you have your reception exactly
the way you want it to be.
Product Launch/Press Day
If you are launching a new product or
having a press day, the set-up of the room is one of the most important aspects
that you need to consider. This is why blank canvas spaces can be so useful.
You can place the product exactly how you want, organise your audience to be
where you need them to be, and decorate the space so that it is a true
representation of your company. The press will also appreciate the effort that
you’ve gone to and will enjoy being in a venue that is a bit different from the
norm.
Brainstorming Session
If your team needs to get out of the office
and get to work on a new project, then using a blank canvas can help you to get
your thoughts in order. As you can set it up in whatever way you want, and it will
bolster your creativity and help you to get the results that you need. A change
in venue can really help productivity, and there’s nowhere better than a space
that you have free reign over.
Conference
Conferences can be tricky to organise, and
many conference halls have their own special quirks when it comes to layout,
and what you can and can’t do. With a blank canvas, the set-up is down to you
and your team. You can have a stage wherever you need it, and chairs arranged
however you want. In fact, you might not even want chairs at all! This all makes
for a conference that is truly innovative, and that people will remember.
Birthday Party
Having a birthday party, particularly if
you are going for a themed one, is a great use of a blank canvas space. After
all, you can decorate in any way that suits you, and really go to town on your
theme! This type of venue is also great for a more subdued party that you don’t
want to happen in a noisy bar or club.
Things to Remember
When deciding to go for a blank canvas
venue, there are certain things that you need to keep in mind when organising
any event there. While they can be much the same as some other venues, you need
to remember that while the space is there for you to use how you want to, there
will be rules, which means planning!
Collaborate
Collaboration can sometimes be the key to
success for many different events. When it comes to blank canvas spaces,
discuss with the managers what you are looking to do, and collaborate with
them! They will have likely hosted many different events in their space before,
and so will have contacts for a lot of local people from where you can hire
tables and chairs, decorations, food, the lot!
Décor
Décor at a blank canvas is all down to you,
so don’t forget about it! As so many of these spaces have their own unique look,
not everywhere will need a lot of decoration. Sometimes the features that they
already have will be exactly what you need for your event. Make sure it’s
something you consider carefully before foregoing however. After all, unless you
have done it on purpose, you might not want your blank canvas looking too,
well, blank!
Consider Catering
Catering is going to be one of the major
considerations when hiring a blank canvas venue. Does the venue have a kitchen
area to heat food? If not, you’ll need to let your caterers know what is going
to be expected of them. Most will be used to working in all different types of
venues, so getting the food that you want shouldn’t be an issue. Just ensure
that you contact caterers early to book them for your date.
A blank canvas venue can really be used for
almost any event you can imagine. Due to their versatility, you can let your
imagination go wild. There’s really no end to what you can achieve when you
have a really unique space for you to organise your event it. All that’s left is
to get planning!
