Thanks I haven't been in there for a decade or more. Never since ID became compulsory - would ID be needed for private party guests? (average age over 50) Was that in a room upstairs? many people? what did you have: food /bar/dj? tell me more.
If it's on a weekend, you'll need ID, but not for a party in the week. The top floor bar holds around 70 I think.
If you're after a bit of a laid back, intimate bash, you can hire the front room of the Effra Social. Lob in some cheapo lighting and a DJ and you'll have a nice little party!
I've been to some lovely ones at the Whirled Cinema.
Thanks but it will need to be at a weekend, as family and friends will need to come from out of town. Can't possibly ask them to anything that requires ID (some of them will def not have drivers licence or passports, though some may well have 60+ bus passes) Anyway I refuse to take my passport out to go to a pub in Brixton and I can't risk not getting into my own party! I'll enquire further with the Market House check if they do need ID and their costs. Thanks
Thanks but Effra Social's lounge is too small. Lido a possibility - have already asked for a quote.
I think it'll be pricey. If you want any kind of leg-shaking you'll have to hire in a soundsystem too as theirs is only really good enough for background music. Market House I think is cheap (or even free) if you go from 7pm-10pm when the club nights take over, but you can stay on for those if the music is anywhere near what you like.
The main reason we no longer head that way at the weekend anymore. Thank god it hasn't reached Herne Hill yet.
have they gone out of business? the website doesnt seem to exist and email bounces back...
Did they all involve watching films? - all prices include projection staff etc. Can't tell from the site if all the cinema seating can be moved.
I imagine most places will be pricey. So far quotes go from 150 - 1000 quids (yikes!) but diffent things are included. Just enquiring at this stage.
no it wasn't - I'll give that a go.
Good luck
Hi they close for private hires at the weekend and remove the seats. You need to bring a DJ and decks etc, maybe some fairy lights. My mate did it an it was very reasonable and easy to arrange. If you pop down they are very friendly.
Which local establishments, was in Herne Hill? As my phone is almost gas powered this wouldn't work for me.
