Far more than just a cinema, Rich Mix is a creative hub available to hire for Christmas parties and festive events. Set right in the heart of Shoreditch, just a few yards from Shoreditch High Street Station, Rich Mix offers flexible event spaces, boutique cinema screens and a lively East London atmosphere. It’s a good choice for groups looking to move beyond the traditional festive dinner routine. The best part? As a charity, venue hire profits support cultural programmes and the local creative community.
Festive hire at Rich Mix throws up a range of spaces prepped to host all kinds of events, from relaxed Christmas drinks receptions to larger end-of-year celebrations. The Mix, for instance, is a blank canvas with a built-in private bar and can host up to 200 standing guests, while The Studio can host up to 350 for larger reception-style events. Larger celebrations, say with 370, are best placed in The Stage, a dynamic area with a private bar, stage, technical booth, and lighting rig. You can organise entertainment, from gigs and comedy shows to film screenings.
Speaking of, Rich Mix’s boutique cinema screens are available for private hire too, meaning you could incorporate festive films, awards, or presentations before the drinks and Christmas party. Each screening space features contemporary interiors and modern AV. Smaller groups, meanwhile, should look to the Streetside space. With its high ceilings, built-in bar unit, large windows, and views over Bethnal Green Road, you can host up to 100 standing guests for a festive soiree.
Rich Mix also works with catering suppliers offering everything from casual street food to more elevated dining options, alongside full technical support and experienced event staff to help bring celebrations together smoothly. Simply reach out to the team to find out everything you need to know.
