The scale of this industrial space, with its high ceilings, exposed brick and stonework and stylish outside courtyards make a perfect backdrop to a contemporary wedding venue. Stylish, upbeat and effortlessly cool, the space works best for 80-200 guests and for couples who want to create a look and feel that’s true to them!
"Just wanted to say a massive thanks for the weekend, it was absolutely wonderful and we loved every minute!

Thanks again for being so amazing and for all your hard work on the day... and hopefully see you soon for another party at Paintworks!"

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 we do also host just receptions for couples choosing to celebrate here with friends and family after tying the knot elsewhere!
Private Parties
The Event Space is also available for private parties for birthdays, anniversaries and engagements making for a really memorable occasion.
