About Whole Venue Hire (New..)
400 Standing / Reception
The old printworks on Borough Road opens up completely when you take over The Ministry for your event. With space for 400 guests across our nine distinct areas, we've watched everything from product launches to wedding receptions transform these industrial walls into something special. Our main event space keeps the Victorian character intact—those original ceiling beams and factory windows create an atmosphere you won't find in modern venues. The exposed ductwork and concrete floors tell the building's story, while our wooden bars and lounge furniture add warmth where you need it. Natural light pours through the industrial glazing during daytime events, and come evening, our lighting system turns the space into whatever mood you're after. The outdoor terrace works brilliantly for welcome drinks or breakout sessions when the weather cooperates. Inside, we've arranged different zones that flow naturally—your guests can move between the bar areas, comfortable seating clusters, and open spaces for mingling or dancing. The rustic wooden tables scattered throughout give people places to gather, while maintaining that raw, authentic feel our building is known for. Our tech setup handles whatever your event demands. The PA system fills the space properly, projectors and screens are positioned for clear sightlines, and the ultra-fast Wi-Fi actually works when 400 people hit it simultaneously. Our events team knows these spaces inside out—they'll walk you through the layout options and help configure everything to suit your specific event. Borough and Elephant & Castle stations both sit within a ten-minute walk, making arrivals straightforward for your guests. The surrounding area offers plenty of pre and post-event options too. This combination of genuine industrial architecture, modern event facilities, and central location creates something memorable without trying too hard.
