About

A beautiful blank canvas venue in the heart of East London. The Old Parish Hall is a fabulous alternative venue for wedding ceremonies and receptions. It’s mixture of historic and modern features make it an exciting and dynamic space to host a party. The size of the space and natural light creates a sense of scale that’s perfect for special occasions. Lovingly restored to its original beauty, our former Edwardian parish hall is full of character, with great natural light and period features intact.

A versatile space and large blank canvas which allows you to add your special touches - The Old Parish Hall is the perfect space for couples looking to put their own stamp on their wedding venue and let their personal style shine through.

The Main Hall
This space really has the wow factor! A huge 220 sq meter light filled hall, with an original vaulted ceiling beautifully married with modern interior finishes. This room is a great space for the heart of your celebration, where your guests can come together for dinner, drinks and dancing.

The Ground Floor
The entrance hall is an open, versatile space with a beautiful parquet flooring, a stage and bespoke interior features. This room is the perfect space for your welcome reception and post ceremony drinks or would even make a great chill out area for guests to relax away from the party upstairs. The room has access to the professional kitchens where your caterers can prepare your wedding feast. And even better, we are a dry hire venue and do not charge corkage! We encourage our couples to buy in their own booze or hire a bar to supply their event.

The Outdoor Space
This small but cosy space gives you an off-street outdoor area for your guests to escape the party for some fresh air. If your celebration requires a designated smoking terrace then this is the spot for it.

We are not a package deal kind of place. We can offer you the flexibility to cherry pick your wedding suppliers so you can create your perfect celebration. If you need help planning or executing your event then we also have a curated list of recommended suppliers and wedding professionals.

Our venue is a space for community, wellness and celebration. Core Clapton is also a registered charity and by hiring our spaces for your wedding you will be investing back into our community initiatives. If you are interested in hiring The Old Parish Hall for your wedding get in touch with us to arrange a viewing by sending us an enquiry. We’d love to show you our space!
