Big Penny Social in Blackhorse Lane incorporates the UK’s largest beer hall, flexible event space, and a huge sunny beer garden with a total capacity of over 1,400 people. We are an incredibly versatile space and are well suited to many event types, from conferences and exhibitions, to summer or Christmas parties and away days to filming, markets, pop-up shops, product launches, press launches, gigs, weddings and everything in between! We are a collaborative team here and work with each of our clients to create tailored and memorable events.
Situated a 5 minute walk from Blackhorse Road Station on the Victoria line and Overground, Big Penny Social is easily reachable from central London. Not only are we just 20 minutes from Kings Cross, we are also one train from London Liverpool Street, which goes directly to nearby St James Street Station, passing through Bethnal Green and Hackney. We are also well connected by bus, being on the routes to Stratford, Wood Green and Chingford.
We are also a fully accessible venue, with step free access across all three of our public spaces. We also have brilliant tech and AV equipment included within the hire of our spaces, from radio mics to our 16ft projector or LED screen.
Our expansive garden will be transformed into a winter wonderland, featuring a container bar serving mulled wine and spiked hot chocolates, curling lanes, and festive Christmas huts. Smaller groups can enhance their experience by adding a curling package to a group booking or reserving a private section as part of an Event Space hire. For a truly exclusive event, the entire garden is available for full venue hire.

Ian Silvera
I’ve been to BPS a few times now. A couple of things stick out: the service (sometimes table service), venue and selection of beers are all great. The food, however, is mediocre — avoid the nachos. Having said that, it’s a fab location to watch the football, rugby and to pop into the bi-monthly crafts market. Plenty to do for all the family, including a selection of retro games machines and darts boards for small and big kids. A real hot spot for the Walthamstow community. Because of all the above, I would give it 4.5/5 — maybe bring your own food?

We had a great time. My friend and I came with our 2 children - ages 2-5 for Bounce. They all loved their hour for the Bounce session. Lots of variety of different bouncy castles. Then we all ate lunch in the main hall. Mums had wine and chips and kids shared chicken goujons and chips. Large space with lots of children around, everyone was happy :) We will def be coming back

One of the best places to drink in Blackhorse. Order via QR code and even when super busy the beer arrives in a couple mins. Great selection of their own beer and guest taps. Also great for football & rugby with multiple screens.

We have been coming to Big Penny for a couple of months now and the service has been consistently amazing and the food is brilliant. My husband is partially blind and we always feel looked after when we come to events at big penny. The staff remembered us which made us feel so welcome and comfortable. Great for children too with lots of games and a good menu for kids
