Forget everything you know about standard party spaces. Upstairs at The Venue completely transforms what you'd expect from Canterbury's nightlife scene. This upper floor pulses with neon blues and purples that wash across the curved walls, creating an atmosphere that shifts from corporate cool to party central depending on your crowd. We've designed this 300-capacity space around flexibility. The fully licensed bar runs along the entire wall, backlit in colours that change with your event's mood. Those high tables scattered throughout? They're on wheels, so we can clear the floor in minutes when your awards ceremony turns into an after-party. The built-in curved booths along the edges give groups their own zones while keeping everyone part of the action. Our sound system up here matches anything you'd find in dedicated music venues. Multiple screens mean your presentations look sharp from every angle, and when the lights dim, that same tech creates the light show that gets everyone moving. The DJ booth sits ready to go, though we've also staged everything from comedy nights to product launches using the same setup. Being on the University of Kent campus means parking's never an issue, and the whole floor stays accessible via our main lifts. We keep the bar stocked and staffed based on your numbers, whether that's craft beers for 80 at dinner tables or shots lined up for 300 on their feet. The beauty of Upstairs lies in its contradictions. Professional enough for your company's annual presentation, but with enough edge to keep people talking about your event months later. Our team knows exactly how to flip the space from boardroom to dancefloor, often in the same evening.
