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.

Transport yourself to Walthamstow-on-Sea, the ultimate destination for a summer party! Feel the sand beneath your feet as you sip on an ice cold beer, slurp a frozen cocktail or enjoy a good old whipped ice cream with a flake. As well as our Big Penny's Fish and Chips, we can offer a beachside barbecue with all your favourites on the grill (including vegan, veggie and gluten free options)

With cosy 5 beach huts, a PA system, beach games and fun photo ops, its the perfect destination for your summer bash.

    This place is nothing short of amazing. Its the hub of the community and the atmosphere is friendly and inviting. Where else could you be sitting on Walthamstow "beach" one day and listening to outstanding classical musicians the next.... at a place where you can take your mates or the family for pizza and chips and a decent beer, including the dog. The kids love the atmosphere and enjoy a dafe environment to play. First class

    Great warehouse-ish place to watch sports and events and stuff. Huge, there’s always space. Also big outside space. Food is average but they do have food. Loads of beers, this is the main focus.

    When it's good, it's very good. It's probably between a 4 and 5 star venue. The big penny being an event space it very much depends on the event. I have been to live sports on the big screen which were ok. I've been to a DJ event which was very empty despite the DJ being great. We just went to the annual dog show which was great fun. ⚽🎧🐕
