How to hire a rehearsal studio in London

We know that finding a venue the old-fashioned way (where you trawl the internet, contact 10 venues or set your heart on one, only to find that they're out of your price range and not even available on your dates) is a pain, and there are a few pitfalls between you and booking your perfect rehearsal studio. Getting the venue-finding process down to a professional art is what we’ve made our mission ever since we took on the events industry. We often get asked the same questions, so here's what we recommend to quickly and easily hire a space in London.

Frequently asked questions

For rehearsal studios in London, you're spoilt for choice. Here are a few extra special ones that we vouch for:

Grey Studio, English National Ballet - Mulryan Centre for Dance – Perfect your pliés in this classic rehearsal studio.

Main Room, The Arc Centre – With white walls, high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling windows, this rehearsal studio is a great choice for practising for any upcoming recitals.

There really is no one answer to this question: so many variables come into play when understanding the cost of exclusive hire of a rehearsal studio. How many guests are you planning for? Is the venue for the day, an afternoon, or the night? The good news is that you can find a venue for pretty much any budget (okay, almost any budget). Instead of letting the venue dictate the price, our advice is to be proactive and set a budget that you feel comfortable with – this way the right venues can reach out to you through HeadBox.

There are lots of ways to book a London rehearsal studio. You can do the old-fashioned thing and pick up the phone, or email the venue directly. Unfortunately, lots of venues are busy and may not get back to you in time. That's where we come in. Give us your enquiry and we'll reach out to the best rehearsal studios in London and let you enjoy your free time. Easy.
