Fabric Industrial Arts Events Venue

Built in 1999 on the site of Smithfield Market's Victorian cold stores, fabric spent two decades as one of the world's most influential nightclubs before opening its doors to private hire under the Industrial Arts Events Venue banner. The cultural credibility is not borrowed or styled — it's embedded in walls that have hosted landmark sets, shaped electronic music, and twice earned DJ Magazine's number one global ranking.

fabric's Spaces for Private Hire

Three distinct rooms across 25,000 square feet, each with its own character and production specification. Room 1 holds 800 standing with Europe's first Bodysonic dancefloor and a VIP Mezzanine. Room 2 offers three stages, a street-level entry, and 500 standing. Room 3 provides intimate scale at 200 with laser lighting and a balcony lounge. The Sunken Bar connects the main rooms with lounge seating and its own bar. Full venue hire accommodates up to 1,500 standing.

Production and Events at fabric

The sound systems, lighting rigs, and AV infrastructure are permanently installed and maintained to nightclub standards — a specification that exceeds most dedicated event venues. Gala dinners, brand activations, product launches, fashion shows, filming, and corporate parties all work within the industrial aesthetic. Creative consulting and full production support come from an in-house team with over 25 years of experience.

Clerkenwell and Access to fabric

Five minutes from Farringdon station on the Elizabeth Line, with Barbican also nearby. Available Monday to Thursday for private hire, with 24-hour licensing. The 77A Charterhouse Street address sits in Clerkenwell's creative core — the kind of postcode that signals intention before your guests walk through the door.
