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 large LED screens.

Big Penny Social transforms into a winter wonderland, perfect for Christmas parties and seasonal celebrations. Twinkling lights, vibrant decorations, and the scent of mulled wine fill the air, creating a magical atmosphere. Our heated beer garden offers cozy seating while the Event Space provides a private bar, stage, and full PA system for live entertainment. Guests can enjoy seasonal feasting with festive street food stalls, traditional roasts, and winter cocktails, alongside optional Christmas activities like curling, themed games, and live music.

    Incredible venue with incredible staff and selection of beer. I organised a birthday party here and they were able to accommodate extra people very last minute by moving tables around despite it being fully booked that day. There’s always loads of really unique events going on and even table tennis, pinball, arcade machines.
