Hiring

Art Club offers two distinct spaces for hire — our creative basement workshop and our upstairs cafe bar with outdoor yard. Whether you're planning a hands-on art party or a larger celebration, we have the perfect setting for you.

Basement — Creative Workshop Space

Our fully furnished basement level is dedicated to art and creativity. It's the ideal spot for painting parties, children's art classes, and small creative workshops. Tucked away beneath the cafe, it offers privacy, character, and a fully equipped art studio feel.

Perfect for: children's art parties, small group workshops, life drawing classes, creative team sessions.

Upstairs Cafe Bar & The Yard — Event Space

For larger gatherings, our upstairs cafe bar and outdoor yard can be hired together. This space is perfect for birthday parties (adults and kids), hen parties, private dinners, exhibition launches, and corporate events. The venue holds 50+ people, making it ideal for parties, private functions, and group celebrations.

Our welcoming cafe bar offers a fully stocked bar serving beer, wine, and soft drinks, plus locally made cakes and light bites. During warmer months, The Yard — our secluded suntrap — becomes an extension of your event, perfect for informal mingling, breakout areas, or even outdoor creative workshops.
