About Fabric Industrial Arts Events Venue
Exclusive hire of fabric opens up 25,000 square feet of recently refurbished industrial space in the heart of Clerkenwell — three distinct rooms, two lounge areas, five bars, and the kind of production infrastructure that only a quarter-century as one of the world’s most celebrated nightclubs can produce. Available Monday to Thursday for corporate and brand events accommodating 100 to 1,500 guests, with 24-hour licensing and a team whose event experience spans Nike to Goldman Sachs to Vivienne Westwood.
fabric Full Venue — Three Rooms, Five Bars
Room 1 is the largest space: 800 standing, 220 seated dinner, with Europe’s first Bodysonic bass-loaded dancefloor, a stage, standalone DJ booth, and the VIP Mezzanine Lounge overlooking the floor. Room 2 is the second largest — a raised DJ booth, three stages, its own dedicated street-level entry, and up to 500 standing. The three-stage layout makes Room 2 particularly effective for presentations, awards ceremonies, and live performance formats. Room 3 is the most intimate — its own bar, DJ booth, laser lighting, and a balcony lounge, holding up to 200 standing. The Sunken Bar sits between Rooms 1 and 2 with lounge seating, bunkered couches, and its own bar — functioning as a breakout, connector, or standalone social space. All rooms share the same raw industrial character: exposed brickwork, wooden finishes, and 60-foot vaulted Victorian arches and atriums from the building’s life as the Metropolitan Cold Stores for Smithfield Market. The refurbishment preserved this heritage while upgrading infrastructure throughout.Events and Production at fabric
The production specification is genuinely world-class. State-of-the-art sound systems, lighting installations, and AV support are permanently installed across all rooms — designed for the most demanding audio and visual requirements and maintained to nightclub standards, which exceed most corporate event venues by a significant margin. Full production support with creative consulting is available, and fabric’s in-house team walks clients through sound, lighting, Wi-Fi, food and beverage, and health and safety requirements. Catering options range from pizza and dumplings to bowl food and canapés through to formal three-course seated dinners. External DJs are permitted. The venue’s cultural cachet is a tangible asset — fabric’s name carries international recognition that communicates brand positioning instantly for music industry events, product launches, and brand experiences targeting audiences who value authenticity over polish.Clerkenwell Location and Access
Farringdon station — including the Elizabeth Line — is five minutes’ walk, with Barbican also close by. The EC1 Clerkenwell position places fabric in London’s creative heartland, surrounded by design studios, agencies, and restaurants. Step-free access, nearby parking, and a large loading bay with cargo lift support production logistics. Private hire runs Monday to Friday excluding Friday nights, with no student parties or stag and hen events accepted.Capacity at Fabric Industrial Arts Events Venue
