Night Tales can host brand activations, product launches, corporate parties and drinks receptions for up to 750 standing guests when the whole site is booked, with a theatre layout for 120 and seated formats for up to 250. The venue sits at 14 Bohemia Place in Hackney, East London, a few minutes on foot from Hackney Central station.
Seminars and company events
The venue lists corporate parties, product launches, brand activations and drinks receptions among the events it takes. A full takeover combines the indoor rooms and the outdoor terrace across about 9,000 square feet, so a launch can run a presentation in one space and a reception in another. The main rooms can each be set theatre style for 120, which works for a talk, a screening or an awards segment before the evening opens up. Smaller teams can book group tables on the terrace or take over Arch 14 for an end-of-year party or a client night. Seated capacities depend on the format chosen, so the layout is worth settling early with the events team.
Rooms and capacities
The Club is the largest of the three event spaces. It takes 400 standing, 100 seated or 120 in theatre style and runs on a Funktion-One sound system, which makes it the room for club nights and larger evening events. Arch 14, also called the Palm Bar, has its own bar, a four-point Funktion-One setup and an adaptable layout. It takes 200 standing and 120 in theatre style and handles group bookings from small celebrations up to full private hire. The terrace is covered and heated, seats up to 200 and acts as the central hub of the venue, with 17 tables that groups can reserve. VIP day beds on the terrace look over the space and suit birthdays and smaller gatherings.
Catering
The terrace is home to Sons of Slice, a pizza restaurant, and the venue runs its own bars across the site, including the dedicated bar in Arch 14. Food and drink for private hire are agreed with the events team, who handle group bookings as well as full takeovers.
History and setting
Night Tales brings together indoor rooms and an open-air terrace in Hackney, with Arch 14 giving its name to one of the main bars. The setting is informal and evening-led: the venue is built around music, a strong sound system and outdoor drinking, which makes it a fit for launches and parties rather than daytime boardroom work. Its licence runs from 08:00 to midnight Sunday to Thursday, and extensions are available on request.
Getting there
Hackney Central on the London Overground is about three minutes on foot, and Hackney Downs about nine. Bus routes 30, 38, 55, 106, 236, 242, 254, 276, 277 and 394 stop nearby. The venue is reached from Mare Street. Access is at ground level, and the main entrance is step-free for guests with reduced mobility. London City Airport is the closest airport for guests flying in, and central London is a short Overground ride away.
