What should I look for when booking an outdoor venue?

When you’re choosing an outdoor venue, it’s important to think about things other than the great view you’ll have. Instead, consider the following: Capacity Transport links Weather contingency plans Toilet facilities Catering Options Accessibility

How much does outdoor venue hire cost?

Outdoor venue hire costs can vary depending on the location, size, day of the week, and what’s included in the package. Smaller outdoor spaces for private parties may operate on a minimum spend starting at a couple of hundred pounds, while large-scale summer party venues, rooftops, gardens, and exclusive-hire spaces can cost several thousand pounds. You’ll also want to think about catering and production costs if you end up with a dry-hire venue.

What happens if it rains at an outdoor event?

Most experienced outdoor venues will have wet weather plans in place, but it never hurts to ask. Most of these plans will include covered terraces, retractable roofs, marquees, indoor backup spaces, or flexible layouts.

Are outdoor venues good for corporate events and summer parties?

Outdoor venues are super popular for corporate events, especially during the spring and summer. They work really well for summer parties, team away days, networking events, drinks receptions, and company celebrations. Many venues combine outdoor spaces with indoor meeting rooms or private dining areas, making them flexible for work and social events.

How far in advance should I book outdoor venue hire?

Popular outdoor venues can book up quickly, particularly for summer events and peak dates between May and September. For larger corporate events, weddings, and summer parties, it’s recommended to book several months in advance when possible. Smaller parties and private events can be a bit more flexible, especially midweek.

I worked with Marie to source a venue for a 2 day work event. She was very professional and efficient and found us a great shortlist of venues of which we booked one. It was excellent and a great recommendation. Great job Marie, thank you!

Deirdre

As we’re remote workers without much direct knowledge of the area, Megan at Venuescanner really saved us with some great suggestions that all met our brief but had enough differences to help us evaluate the best ‘vibe’ for our event. Megan was always there to cater to our evolving brief and was a great coordinator between us and all the other services she recommended. We’ll definitely work with VenueScanner again.

Angus Knight Group

Marie was amazing helping us to source amazing event spaces for 5 leadership summits at TikTok. She was super helpful, took the burden of us sourcing and negotiating deals and super responsive and always on top of everything! I love the service venuescanner provides and we will be definitely be using them again!

Aaron Lawder

I was so pleased to run across VenueScanner as our organization was looking for a place to host our 50th celebration. Jess made the process so easy, asked what our needs and wants were and also found us the perfect location that was within our budget! As small nonprofit this is a great service, I highly recommend them, and we will use them again in the future.

Debbie

Kate was lovely and so helpful in finding us the perfect venue for our conference this year. This is the 2nd year that we have used Venue Scanner and yet again they took the stress out of trying to find something that suits our growing business.
