Many do. Venues like The HiFi Club, The Chapter Hall, and Archive typically offer built-in AV systems, lighting, and microphones. Some studios like Department Leeds Dock or Fearns Leeds Dock may require you to bring or hire your own setup. Always check what's included in the hire before confirming.
