About Big Penny Social

Searching for somewhere to host a party in East London? Make your way over to Walthamstow and find Big Penny Social – a massive taproom that can accommodate up to 1400 guests. The venue itself is known for putting on an impressive variety of events – from weekly sports screenings and quizzes, to themed, seasonal events like pop-up beaches, bouncy castle sessions and vintage fairs, and then in the winter, Christmas parties and the opportunity to try your hand at curling.

So, whether you’re looking to replicate something that Big Penny Social have whipped up themselves in the past, or have a totally unique idea of what you’d like to pull together, you can trust that the events team will have all the skills, contacts and experience that you could possibly need to organise the event you’ve always dreamed of.

If you're planning to have 200 guests or less at your event, you can book online with Big Penny Socials, but with bigger scale events, you just need to get in touch with the team, who will come back to you with a variety of options that may be suitable. The events space is designed with versatility in mind, so that whether you're planning a celebration, exhibition, performance or conference, the space can be set up in a way that fits.

Big Penny Social also has excellent transport links to Blackhorse Road on the Victoria Line or Overground, which is just five minutes away, so your guests will find you easily enough. There's 25,000 square feet of flexible spaces to explore, with two enormous warehouses and a big garden, three bars, a large kitchen, and two floors of offices and meeting rooms.
