A huge part of this is down to you for being so flexible and enabling us to have exactly the wedding we wanted!

The Event Space isn't a conventional wedding venue, it's not fussy or carpeted, and it's nothing like a manor house, rather, it's a striking blank canvas space with stunning proportions and a unique off-beat but classy atmosphere.
Paintworks Event Space has been hosting wedding ceremonies and receptions since 2007, and no two weddings here have ever been the same! Holding the ceremony and reception in the same venue can reduce expense and the hassle that comes from moving all the wedding guests from one location to another, but many of our weddings are also just receptions.
Tailor made weddings and parties
The venue's best selling point is that it can be dressed up or down and themed exactly to your own taste and requirements, making for a truly unique look and feel. We often have bands, strolling musicians, entertainers, DJ's and even bouncy castles, creating a very personal and unique day or night. Our priority is to make your vision into a reality.
Private parties
The venue is also available for private parties for birthdays, anniversaries, engagements and so on, making for a really memorable occasion.
Outdoor Space
There are two lovely courtyards adjoining the Event Space which are great for champagne receptions, photographs, barbeques, hog roasts, children's entertainers etc. The main courtyard is licensed and available for use until 9pm.
Ceremonies
We can hold ceremonies for up to 140 guests in the Theatre End, which is a more intimate part of the venue that can be screened off from the rest of the space and has a fantastic viewing gallery, which adds drama to your ceremony.
Catering and Bars
Relish, our in-house caterers run all of the bars and catering for weddings and parties held at Paintworks Event Space.
