About this space

The Hideaway is a semi-private lounge within Exhibit, a tucked-away seating area organised around curved booths and high tables for intimate group gatherings.

Design: The Hideaway shows warm terracotta upper walls, dark lower panelling and a chequered tile floor that create a compact, vintage-inspired look. Curved cream banquettes and rust-coloured velvet stools sit beneath low-height lighting for a cosy, enclosed feel.

Features: The Hideaway includes built-in curved booth seating and tall cocktail tables arranged for semi-private use. The space has air conditioning and venue Wi‑Fi, and it can be opened onto adjacent floor space for a small dance area. The area is wheelchair accessible and served by a step-free guest entrance and accessible toilets.

Ideal for: Small social groups seeking a relaxed, semi-private standing drinks reception or an informal seated catch-up.

What sets it apart: A built-in log-lined fireplace inset provides a private focal point and a distinctive backdrop for the seating area.

What guests say: Private areas at Exhibit provide flexible layouts and organised on-site event support. The space sustains lively music into the evening while benefiting from friendly, attentive staff.

A fantastic team at this place! From the booking to being welcomed on the day to the staff in the bar. Cannot fault it. The Studio was an amazing space, we made good use of the sound system, microphone and TV. It was so lovely that we were able to bring decorations, although we didn't need many as the disco balls and lights were a fantastic way to create a party atmosphere. So many people were saying how great a venue it was, I would recommend it to anyone and would never hesitate to come back

Nothing, it was absolutely fantastic.
