Capacity runs from 100 seated in the bar and kitchen to 2,200 guests on a full venue takeover. It hosts conferences, awards, product launches, brand events, dinners and corporate parties.

Seminars and company events

EartH Theatre is the room for plenary sessions and ceremonies. It is a pillar-free, tiered auditorium with an unrestricted view, a large stage, an L-ISA 360 sound system and lighting. It holds 680 in theatre seating or 700 standing. The venue recommends it for conferences, awards ceremonies, performances, fashion shows, launches, screenings and stage dinners.

EartH Hall is an open-plan, pillar-free blank canvas with a full stage and bar, a private green room, a dedicated entrance and access to a private terrace. It holds 400 in theatre layout, 300 seated or 1,200 standing, and works for dinners, conferences, Christmas parties, product launches, branded gigs and award ceremonies. Branding is possible throughout the building and entrance.

A full venue takeover, with a listed capacity of 2,200, lets guests move between the three spaces. It comes with two green rooms and breakout spaces, and suits a conference that turns into a reception or dinner, or an immersive brand event.

EartH Bar & Kitchen spans two levels at the front of the building, with a central bar and a large mezzanine. It has natural daylight, built-in furniture, a DJ booth, a stage area and access to the private terrace. It holds 100 seated, 150 theatre style or 300 standing, and works for meetings, presentations, networking, intimate dinners and welcome receptions.

Catering

For dinners in the Hall, the venue names Togather as its catering partner, a platform with more than 1,500 caterers, from street food to fine dining. Cabaret and banquet layouts are both mentioned, and the in-house lighting, sound and production rig can run entertainment during the meal.

History and setting

The building opened in 1936 as the Savoy Cinema and is a clear example of Art Deco architecture. It fell into disrepair in the late twentieth century. In September 2018, the team behind Village Underground in Shoreditch reopened it as a cultural venue. Its Theatre, Hall and Kitchen host a year-round program of music, comedy and talks, so your event takes place in a working venue with experienced production staff. The address is 11-17 Stoke Newington Road, Dalston, London N16 8BH.

Getting there

The venue lists Dalston Junction as 5 minutes away, with King's Cross at 20 minutes and Liverpool Street and Victoria at 30 minutes. Directions, parking and bus stops are linked from each hire page.
