Ministry Of Sound, Whole Venue

Boasting six interconnected industrial spaces spread across 900 square metres just south of the Thames, Ministry of Sound has a total capacity of 1,555 and a 24- hour licence. With an additional 330 square metres outside in the courtyard, the venue can handle pretty much anything – from awards ceremonies to conferences, Christmas parties, Summer parties, product launches to fashion shows. Opened in 1991, the once disused bus garage retains its industrial heritage with exposed brick walls and steel beams, amplified by atmospheric lighting and powerful sound installations. Our specialist team possess the energy and expertise to ensure things run smoothly from start to finish, no matter the shape or scale of the occasion. Ministry Venues is where three decades of industry heritage and euphoric history collide to create experiences your guests will go home raving about.

Named after the street on which the venue is located, The 103 is the central chamber that welcomes guests into Ministry of Sound and connects all 6 of our industrial spaces. Complemented by an aerial walkway that overlooks the room, a glittering disco ball and towering double-height ceilings, the ground floor’s focal point is a 12-metre bar backed up by a giant wall-to-wall LED screen, a setup that offers all kinds of branding opportunities.

Simply put, The Box is one of the most revered spaces in the world. The largest room you can hire through Ministry Venues: a main plenary and jewel-in-the-crown that holds 600 standing, 300 theatre-style, across 285 square metres. The Box was built for peerless sound quality, making it ideal for keynote addresses, performances, networking events and awards ceremonies, while the balcony overlooking the sprung wooden main floor works perfectly as a separate green room space for special guest speakers and VIPs. With top drawer insulation and an LED display wall primed for key branding opportunities, this show-stopping blank canvas is ideal for your next corporate event.

The Baby Box is the smallest space at Ministry of Sound can accommodate 120 standing, while its position away from the hubbub of the main rooms make it perfect for intimate, small-sided group sessions. The sense of space is amplified by high ceilings, exposed brickwork and excellent AV facilities, the latter served by a 3-phase power supply and extra sockets that make it ideal for use as an in house kitchen and catering zone.

Situated up on our first floor, The Loft represents an ideal chance to add something special to your event. Its location away from the main areas – it’s also more private than The Lounge and Baby Box – makes it perfect for intimate one-on ones, press briefings, or as a space for guests to engage with interactive tech, like product prototypes or gaming consoles. The Loft’s high ceilings, large, fitted bar, standing capacity of 150 and formidable sound system make it a great social space, too.

This flexibility is further amplified by customisable lighting and whatever seating solution you wish to deploy across its 108 square metres. Whilst The Lounge offers the best possible views of our main room, The Box and centre space, The 103, it’s fitted booth seating, dedicated bar and WCs, allow it to shine on its own. It’s an evocative, atmospheric space and makes a great green room, 1-on-1 meeting zone or breakout area, holding a standing capacity of 120 across its 123 square metres.

The Courtyard is one of the most important spaces at Ministry of Sound. It’s the first thing your guests will see when they arrive at the venue, where they will congregate to network away from the main event and the last space they’ll walk through when they leave. It’s an ideal setup space for street food vans and catering, while large LED screens and customisable lighting rigs provide a plethora of branding opportunities – allowing you to truly ‘own’ the space.
