About Night Tales

Night Tales’ exclusive venue hire takes over 9,000 square feet across three railway arches in Hackney — The Garden, The Club, and Arch 14 — for up to 650 guests in a venue that’s built its reputation on brand activations, credible music programming, and events that feel distinctly East London.

What Exclusive Hire at Night Tales Includes

The full venue package brings together the weatherproof terrace (The Garden, 400–450 standing), the indoor club space (The Club, 300 standing), and the self-contained Arch 14 (200 standing) under a single booking. Four fully serviced bars run across all three spaces. The street food kitchen — currently Sons of Slice pizza — provides in-house catering, with external caterers available for bespoke requirements (food costs sit outside the minimum spend). An event manager, security team, door host, cloakroom, bar staff, and pre- and post-event cleaning come as standard. Up to two hours of setup time are included. Seated configurations vary by space combination, but the full venue supports around 250 for dinners using a mix of booth, daybed, and banquet-style seating across The Garden and Arch 14.

Day-to-Night Programming at Night Tales

The venue’s real strength is events that evolve. Daytime conferences, workshops, or team-building sessions can use The Club’s blackout curtains, Funktion One sound system, and professional lighting for presentations, then transition to The Garden for social drinks as afternoon light filters through the perspex canopy. Once the 10pm noise restriction moves amplified music off the terrace, the party naturally migrates indoors to The Club — the architecture programs the evening’s arc without anyone needing to announce it. The custom lighting system across all spaces can be configured for immersive environments, making the venue particularly effective for brand activations, product launches, and fashion events where the setting needs to carry a visual narrative. Night Tales’ team has delivered events for some of London’s most recognised brands and cultural figures, bringing production expertise that many venues at this scale simply don’t offer.

Booking Night Tales for Exclusive Events

Exclusive hire requires a minimum of 150 guests and runs Monday through Thursday from 08:00 to midnight, with extensions available on request. Friday and Saturday bookings are considered individually. The venue’s Hackney location — on Bohemia Place, a short walk from Hackney Central station via Mare Street — provides the East London credibility that creative and brand-led events actively seek. Ground-level loading access via Bohemia Place handles production logistics, and adjacent areas function as green room or back-of-house for events with performers, speakers, or complex staging. Summer parties, corporate away-days, Christmas celebrations, brand activations, and large private parties all book the full venue. The combination of outdoor terrace, late-night club, and self-contained private bar means events don’t need to choose between a relaxed social setting and a proper party — Night Tales delivers both within the same booking.
