About this space

Big Fridge is an industrial-style event venue housed in a converted warehouse; its defining quality is a high, open interior that retains raw structural elements.

Design: The interior presents exposed red-brick walls, cast-concrete coffered ceilings and painted steel trusses across a broad rectangular volume. The aesthetic is spare and functional, emphasising raw materials and clear sightlines.

Features: The venue includes Wi‑Fi and air conditioning. The hire policy permits own music and external DJs and the central floor can be used as a dance area. The venue provides a step-free guest entrance, wheelchair-accessible routes and accessible toilets.

Ideal for: Event organisers and promoters seeking an informal, social standing reception or a lively, music-led party.
