Potting Shed Event Academy

Venues don't have to blow your budget.

Here are some other venues you might like to consider when looking for somewhere to hold your event:

Universities - If you are happy to hold your event during the academic holidays, universities are a great budget friendly option with large spaces available.

Wedding venues - A great option out of 'wedding season'. These venues are used to events and have versatile spaces. these venues will be looking for additional 'out of season' bookings and may be open to deals.

Restaurants - Some of these spaces have additional rooms, especially for events, so if you are looking for a no or low tech event space this could be a great option. If you want the whole restaurant, do check if the venue charges an exclusivity fee.

Village Hall - We appreciate this sounds like a strange option but, especially in the countryside, there tend to be a lot of lovely village halls that are empty more than they are full. They are generally very thankful for bookings and income and will do their best to help. They tend to be dry hire, which means you may have to hire everything in (tables, chairs etc) but what you can save on venue costs you can put towards these other items.

Coffee shops - If your first event really is a toe in the water event to get a few key people together and your budget is minimal, try approaching independent coffee shop owners. They may be happy to lay on tea, coffee and cakes for a couple of hours in the evening while you use their space. Small business owners tend to like to support other small business owners.

Events can take place anywhere that can support the requirements, so don't feel stuck by tradition, think outside the box!

Here's what one happy customer has to say about Potting Shed Academy...

"Julia's advice was invaluable in the lead up to my retreat. It was my first time running a retreat and having someone to bounce ideas off or tell me when to pull back and allow time to think was crucial in building the structure of the event. Her knowledge is incredible, from where to book, what to ask, what to include or not. She has the answers to the how, what, where, when and more. Julia is my go to events lady and I highly recommend her services."
