Our venue boasts an exposed brick backdrop, an abundance of natural light and a stunning hanging garden of tropical plants. The spacious layout includes a cocktail bar, lounge area and separate dining space, as well as a covered summer terrace.
The building started life over 150 years ago as a brewery and later as a mechanic's workshop. We've lovingly restored it back to its full potential, keeping many of the original period features.
These details, along with the beautiful natural light, offer a stunning backdrop for photographs. It's a place so full of character that you'll never forget it.

January 2025We can’t recommend The Hackney enough as a wedding venue! When we were planning our wedding, my now-husband and I were on the lookout for something a bit different—not too traditional, with a cozy, intimate vibe. The venue’s industrial style caught our eye as soon as we walked in for the first viewing and knew right away it was the one for us. Working with Hugo, the venue coordinator, was absolutely seamless. From our first planning meeting to the food tasting, everything felt super smooth and stress-free. Hugo really knows his stuff and made the whole process so easy for us. One thing that really stood out was the planning spreadsheet Hugo gave us. It broke down all the costs and let us play around with different options to see how they’d impact the final price. There were no hidden surprises—just total transparency. We were a bit nervous about having an all-vegetarian menu, worried that some of our meat-loving guests might not be into it. But the food was a massive hit! Even the pickiest eaters loved it. People are still talking about how amazing the dishes were—especially the smoked butter, which was a crowd favourite. Overall, The Hackney was the perfect backdrop for our wedding. It had the right mix of unique style and incredible service. The Osbornes
