About this space

Our Main Hall is a bright, flexible space with stunning views of the River Lea and Walthamstow Marshes. Located in Hackney, it offers a countryside feel while still being in the city. The hall can hold up to 120 standing or 80 seated guests, making it ideal for weddings, milestone birthdays, corporate parties, workshops, or kids' parties.

With a spacious layout, you can easily personalize the space for any occasion—whether it's a formal dinner, a dance floor, or a casual gathering. The venue offers BYOB options, flexible seating, and kitchen access, making it both affordable and adaptable.

Enjoy the beautiful riverside setting and create a memorable event that’s uniquely yours at Leaside.

All bookings need to include set up and clearing up time in the booking period.

Revenue from the hire of our venue goes to support the Leaside Trust’s work providing outdoor learning, environmental education, and youth programmes for the local community.
