About Barge East

Barge East is a totally unique venue set aboard a 120-year-old Dutch barge, that has been renovated with recycled rustic materials to become the destination it is today. There are plenty of event spaces both on board the barge and in the adjacent gardens, where much of the kitchen's organic ingredients are grown. In line with its sustainability ethos, the owners only work with companies within a ten-mile radius where possible, to ensure only the freshest produce and to support the local community. So, if you’re after a striking and eccentric venue to host your Christmas event, Barge East is an excellent choice. Superbly located less than a five minute walk from Hackney Wick station, and a ten minute walk from Stratford International, it is also easily accessible.

From decadent sit-down meals to lively festive bashes, this versatile venue can cater for it all. Exclusive hire of the barge caters for up to 50 seated guests, or 80 standing, and features its own bar, DJ area and dance floor. The interior has a rustic charm with neutral tones, wooden tables and soft lighting, and extra festive décor can be arranged. Here, guests can enjoy canapes, cocktails and dancing, or settle in for a festive feast while gazing across the canal at the Olympic Park.

The Terrace, set amongst the picturesque frosty gardens, is a great option for smaller gatherings of six to 36 people. Boasting its own private bar, rooftop and space for games, an evening at the Terrace is guaranteed to be a success.

For large Christmas events, the Greenhouse is the perfect party venue. Able to accommodate up to 120 seated for a dinner or 150 standing, the Greenhouse features a bar, DJ and dance floor. The area is also heated, and hot water bottles and blankets are also on hand so you need not worry about the cold.
