About this space

Half Venue is a semi-private area within Brunswick Foodstore, an event space defined by high ceilings and abundant natural light.

Design: Timber floorboards, white-painted brick walls and a large monochrome mural give the area a vintage-industrial appearance; iron-framed windows and a mix of pendant and festoon lighting reveal architectural detail while keeping the interior feeling intimate.

Features: The area includes Wi‑Fi and air conditioning and offers a flexible open plan that accommodates a cleared dancefloor. The space allows own music and bringing a DJ. Access is step‑free and the area is wheelchair accessible with accessible toilets on site.

Ideal for: Friend groups and small organisations seeking a relaxed, music-friendly standing reception or an informal seated dinner.

What sets it apart: A large overhead installation of suspended plants and foliage provides a strong vertical focal point above the room.

What guests say: The space's event hosting includes attentive, proactive coordination and front-of-house service that keeps events running smoothly.
