Clays

Competitive socialising venues promise a lot — activity, atmosphere, something to actually do beyond standing with a drink. Clays is one of the few that delivers on every count. The concept is virtual clay target shooting with real decommissioned shotguns and four-metre 4K screens, set inside a cocktail bar designed with enough care that the shooting almost feels secondary.

What Makes Clays Different

The venue spans two floors at 55 Moorgate, with twelve shooting pegs running four game modes alongside a curated cocktail programme, an extensive small-plates menu, and interiors — dark greens, earthy pink tones, a tree built around the bar — that set a register well above typical activity spaces. It's designed for grown-up entertaining, not novelty nights out.

Events and Private Hire at Clays

Capacity ranges from intimate groups of 25 in semi-private areas through to 380 standing on exclusive hire. The Lower Ground Floor operates as the main event level with nine shooting pegs and its own bar, while the Ground Floor adds The Hide — a private space with a self-service bar and 4-player peg for up to 100 guests. Corporate team building, Christmas parties, client entertaining, and milestone celebrations all find a natural home here, with in-house catering and a late licence to 2am.

Clays Moorgate — Location and Access

Sitting in EC2 between Moorgate and Bank stations, the venue is squarely in City territory — easy for corporate groups and well connected for guests arriving from across London. The activity provides built-in entertainment, the design provides atmosphere, and the food and drink hold up on their own terms. That's the combination that makes Clays work for events where you need to impress people who've done everything.
