Five Events to Host at your Indoor Venue

Sophie

We know we talk a lot about outdoor events, it is our speciality after all but that doesn’t mean we don’t have some stellar indoor event ideas as well. 

Most venues enjoy the revenue from weddings and corporate events but there’s also the option to run special events on the quieter days to increase your income. Here are five event ideas for your indoor venue.


1.     Cabaret night

Bring some French flair to your event with a cabaret night. Offer dinner and a show, with acting, singing and comedy. Have themed drinks for the evening and let your audience enjoy an evening with friends at the cross between a concert and a musical.


2.     Square dance evening

The great thing about square dancing or line dancing is that it’s easy to pick up. Hire in a caller for the evening, put on a buffet for the guests and let the dancing be the entertainment. Popular with both young and old people, it’s sure to be a popular event.


3.     Craft fair

Bring in local traders and crafts people to put on a fair. Charge traders by the table and maybe an entry fee and see your space fill up with customers. Have a bar open, maybe some food available for purchase and live entertainment as for atmosphere.


4.     Tribute night

Tribute acts are always popular, get the dance floor out, a stage for your tribute acts and the bar open. Everyone is sure to have a great night.


5.     Halloween party

Halloween is increasingly popular and a great opportunity to cash in on the celebration. Hire a DJ, some actors in costume and have a fancy dress party. You could also do a dinner themed around Halloween or a séance in the basement if you have one
