Seven Dials Market has two private event spaces for company socials, workshops, team events and parties of up to 100 guests: Bar Nana and the Market Bookshop. The market is a street food hall in a former banana warehouse on Earlham Street in Covent Garden, London.
Seminars and company events
The Market Bookshop is the room for meetings and corporate events. It is a glass-walled space in the corner of the warehouse, available to hire from 9 am to 11 pm, Monday to Friday. The venue lists it for corporate events, team socials, workshops and book launches. It seats 18 in a boardroom layout, 40 seated or 50 standing.
Equipment includes a high-speed Wi-Fi connection, a 65-inch LED screen, AV equipment with Chromecast and an HDMI cable with an Apple adaptor, and an AUX plug for a playlist.
Bar Nana suits larger team socials, after-work drinks, semi-private dining and workshops. Tables can be booked from 10 guests, and the whole bar can be hired for exclusive use.
Weddings and receptions
The venue does not present weddings as an offer. Its private hire page focuses on special occasions, parties, team events and similar gatherings, so couples should check directly before planning a reception here.
Rooms and capacities
Bar Nana accommodates up to 60 guests seated and 100 standing when hired exclusively. Group table bookings start at 10 guests. The Market Bookshop holds 18 in a boardroom layout, 40 seated and 50 standing.
Guests of a private event stay part of the atmosphere of the market, which has 21 independent traders and two bars. The site notes full step-free access, including a lift and wheelchair-accessible toilets.
Catering
The hall is built around independent street food traders, and the venue describes its private events as combining street food with cocktails. Bar Nana is stocked with spirits from East London Liquor Co, craft beer from Gipsy Hill Brewing Co and sodas from Square Root. Ask the events team how food from the traders is arranged for a group, since the private hire page does not set out a catering format.
History and setting
The market occupies an old banana warehouse in Seven Dials, in the middle of Covent Garden. Its opening hours run through the day and evening, with live music and DJs on Friday and Saturday evenings from 7 pm in the market's after-hours series, which is worth knowing when choosing a date.
Getting there
The address is Earlham Street, London WC2H 9LX, in the heart of Covent Garden. The official pages do not list stations, but Covent Garden and Leicester Square are the closest on the Underground. The market has step-free access with a lift, which helps when guests include people with reduced mobility.
