Think about your crowd and the atmosphere you want. A small function space or studio might be the way to go if it's a private gathering. Expecting a big turnout? Look for a bar or hall with plenty of standing space. Want to make it interactive? A venue with a stage or a projector for visuals could add something extra. Also, check if they have a bar or catering—you don't want people leaving early because they're hungry!
Evening events tend to draw a crowd, especially on Thursdays or Fridays when people are up for a social night out. If it's a daytime launch, weekends work well, but make sure your venue gets enough natural light for a welcoming atmosphere. If you're targeting media or industry professionals, a weekday morning with coffee and pastries could be a smart move.
You can find a variety of venues in the city, including stylish rooftop bars like Two Hands Rooftop Bar, creative studios such as Artful Yoga Gallery, and large function halls like No 1 Events - Malvern. If you need a quiet, private space for a reading or a larger venue for a lively launch party, there are plenty of options to choose from.
