About this space
--LATE EXTENSIONS AVAILABLE--
Having the whole venue to yourself at St Ethelburga's is a magical experience.
Move freely between the Courtyard Garden and the Nave, impress your guests with an entrance through the the garden before the main event in the Nave. Use the heated Bedouin Tent as the perfect breakout space, or as a changing area. We'll have someone on site to help make sure your event is a success!
--The Nave--
A fantastic multi-purpose space that can be used for dinners, meetings, conferences, workshops, talks as well as parties, concerts and music events.
The space provides a unique setting, a combination of the original church structure framed by modern glass and white walls. Its high ceilings, original arches, a stained-glass window and fascinating history provide a wonderful atmosphere. Though fairly large, the space has a cosy feeling, suitable for smaller groups. Adjacent to the nave is the annex which is a perfect break out space, reception or refreshments area.
The space is equipped with a lectern, uplighters, flip charts and an upright piano. It benefits from fast WIFI, a Bose professional sound-system, an HD laser projector and wireless microphones.
--The Bedouin Tent & Garden--
The Tent is a unique space located just a stone's throw from the thoroughfare of Bishopsgate and Liverpool St. Station. A 16-sided structure, made in Saudi Arabia and covered in woven goat's hair, the tent is a peaceful space ideal for meetings, workshops/training events, along with the stunning garden courtyard - a real oasis in the City!
It is carpeted and fully heated, with atmospheric lighting. The tent is circular with cushioned bench seating around the edge. There are no tables in the tent and people are asked to remove their shoes before entering.
The undercover glass foyer that overlooks the courtyard may be used for refreshments or to lay out items on a table.

The venue was perfect for our wedding. It had such a peaceful and joyful atmosphere, it really added to our celebration
Alex and her lovely dog, Panic, couldn't do enough for us!
Would be better if more tables had been available, a small thing.

Dry Hire · 100 guests
· May 2026
The venue itself is incredible. The compliments we received were endless. We couldn’t have been happier.
Having a dry hire venue in Central London is incredible.
Communication in the booking process and run up to the event can be quite slow.
I also felt that the caretakers could be friendlier on the day.
