About this space

Exhibit is a multi-floor social venue whose defining quality is a layered layout of connected indoor and outdoor spaces across three levels.

Design: Interiors merge contemporary bar fittings and cosy lounge areas across three levels, using dark-painted walls, low warm lighting, velvet textiles and mixed seating to create layered, intimate spaces.

Features: The venue contains multiple private rooms across three floors plus outdoor areas including a garden and a balcony. The venue operates an in-house bar and seasonal food menus and provides a PA system, speakers and Wi‑Fi. The venue permits external DJs, supports its own music, holds a late licence, and includes step-free access, wheelchair-accessible toilets and air conditioning.

Ideal for: Groups seeking a flexible, social setting that can move between seated dining, relaxed lounge areas and a late-night standing reception with dancing.

What sets it apart: A dedicated private cinema and studio room with tiered leather seating and a large projection screen for exclusive screenings.

What guests say: The venue provides flexible multi-room layouts and a generous outdoor garden. The venue's event team is organised and supportive when coordinating hires.

The cinema room was stunning & very spacious. Loved all the green & gold furniture and interior as it matched our branding colours. The screen is a perfect size for intimate events, to share visuals on. WiFi and tech all worked seamlessly. Drinks, fries, pizzas WERE DELICIOUS! The best space for intimate and powerful gatherings! Love that the room also came with the balcony area which was an amazing bonus! Everyone got to enjoy pizza & networking with a view! :)
If the AC is off then room does get a little warm so recommend the AC be on to keep the room cool.
