Searching for Dry Hire venues?

Dry hire venues are easy to find
When you’re using VenueScanner, that is. What started as an idea to match party
planners with beautiful venues has turned into a comprehensive marketplace; there are
more than 20,000 venues on our platform these days, and plenty are happy to offer dry
hire packages.
Dry hire involves hiring the space and only the space. It means you’ll arrange the
catering, furniture, entertainment and any other extra bits separately; but you need a
great space in which the action can unfold.
With our office based a stone’s throw from the Gherkin and bustling Liverpool Street,
we’ve got extra special knowledge of the best dry hire venues London can muster. But
we’re present in cities and towns all over the UK, so don’t be put off if you’re miles away
from the capital.
We’ve built excellent relations with our partner venues and have a solid understanding
of how their dry hire policies work. To start searching for your ideal dry hire venue,
simply add in a few details and we’ll soon have some top suggestions for you to consider.
