About Venue

Located on Leonard Street in the heart of Shoreditch, Sacred is a spectacular Grade I listed event venue housed within a beautifully restored Victorian church. Combining soaring Gothic architecture with contemporary production capabilities, the venue provides an unforgettable setting for conferences, award ceremonies, product launches, gala dinners, fashion shows, exhibitions and large-scale corporate celebrations.

Originally constructed in 1865, the deconsecrated church has been transformed into one of East London's most distinctive event spaces while preserving its vaulted ceilings, stained-glass windows and intricate architectural detailing. The vast open-plan interior creates a dramatic blank canvas that can be adapted for immersive experiences, brand activations and prestigious corporate events.

Situated between Old Street and Shoreditch High Street, Sacred enjoys an enviable location within London's creative quarter, surrounded by galleries, restaurants, hotels and technology businesses while benefiting from excellent transport links across the capital.

Event Spaces

The Great Hall

The Great Hall is the venue's principal event space, offering an impressive column-free layout beneath soaring vaulted ceilings reaching over 20 metres high. Original stained glass, historic architectural features and integrated production infrastructure create a dramatic environment for conferences, gala dinners, award ceremonies, fashion shows and immersive brand experiences.

Entrance Foyer

The entrance foyer provides an elegant arrival experience, ideal for guest registration, welcome drinks, exhibitions and networking before guests enter the main event space. The restored historic features create an immediate sense of occasion.

Outdoor Courtyard

An external courtyard area offers additional flexibility for arrival receptions, breakout space and informal networking, complementing larger events taking place within the main hall.

Facilities and Services

Sacred combines historic architecture with contemporary event infrastructure, including integrated lighting and sound systems, extensive rigging capability, high-speed connectivity and production-ready facilities for large-scale events. The venue offers exclusive hire, experienced event management support and flexible catering solutions for conferences, dinners, receptions and brand activations. Vehicle access and efficient loading arrangements make the venue well suited to complex event builds and large productions.

The venue benefits from excellent Underground, Overground, National Rail and Elizabeth line connections, making it easily accessible from across London and beyond.
