We hosted our baby shower at this venue and the team couldn’t do enough to help us. Very friendly and approachable staff who were easily contactable for all planning purposes, and visible on the day of the event for additional support.
The venue itself is exactly as pictured, clean and fit for purpose. The team were able to provide tables and chairs for our booking, and had a number of optional additions such as table covers. We also had access to a kitchen for our event which was super useful for our catering needs.
Free onsite parking is available at the venue with an access code which was a plus for us and our guests. The venue is also accessible via a lift.
I highly recommend this venue and many thanks to Julie, Carole and Shadene for their support!

About Boathouse Studios, Barking
An unusual and quirky riverside multi-purpose venue offering four flexible studios for a variety of business, corporate and private celebration events.
Our studios have sprung floors and offer a blank canvas that can be transformed to suit your needs. This peaceful 'get-away-from-it-all' offers great privacy.
Its urban warehouse feel with exposed brick walls gives it a contemporary feel. It's the perfect setting for people who want the freedom to create their own space in their own way, and stamp their individuality. We have a 'yes and' approach to events and if we can help you to make your idea work we'll do our best to make things possible. You can bring in your own decor, catering and entertainment. We have free parking after 5pm on weekdays and all weekend. :)
