About Venue

The Ditch is an atmospheric underground event space within Shoreditch Town Hall, occupying the untouched basement of the Grade II listed building on Old Street.

More than a dozen interconnected rooms retain original exposed brickwork, pipework, fireplaces and stoves, creating a raw, distressed backdrop with considerable flexibility for creative events. Despite its deliberately abandoned aesthetic, The Ditch offers full production capabilities and can be transformed for product launches, immersive experiences, receptions, exhibitions, dinners, conferences and brand activations.

Why Hire

The Ditch offers something deliberately different from a polished conference or events venue. Its network of interconnected basement rooms allows organisers to build immersive experiences where guests move through different environments, making it particularly strong for launches, experiential events, exhibitions and creative brand activations.

The raw aesthetic does not mean compromising on event infrastructure. Full production capabilities, AV, PA, staging, high-speed connectivity and on-site technical support are available, while dry hire and external catering provide considerable flexibility over how the venue is transformed.
