The complete guide

More Than a Building: Our Guide to Venue Hire


Our e-book brings together what we've learned about planning, pricing and marketing venue hire, and about building a team to run it well. It's written for churches, charities and heritage venues ready to look at the whole picture.

The guide is £4.99, and every copy comes with a free 30-minute conversation with Charlotte about your own venue.

Case studies

See What's Worked for Venues Like Yours


Our case studies follow real churches, charities and heritage venues from where they started to what changed. They range from a parish church in Harrow that grew its venue hire income by 209% in the first three months to a premium events offer for Silverstone Museum.

Heritage church building in central London used as a venue and community space Why: Strongest fit because it places the church within a recognisably commercial market, reinforcing the article’s argument that pricing should reflect what customers actually compare it with.
