If you're looking to give your venue or event space the visibility it deserves, might be just the platform you need. Here's why listing your venue can make a big difference:
Commission-Free Exposure: You keep your earnings intact because we don’t charge any booking commissions. This means every enquiry coming through is pure potential for more profit without hidden fees.
Robust Online Presence: Since opening in the latter half of 2014, Venues4Hire has grown into the largest UK listing site for venues and event spaces. With over 29,500 venues listed—and new ones joining every week—the site is rapidly becoming the "Rightmove" of the venues marketplace.
High Visibility on Google: Year after year, diligent SEO and quality content have helped us consistently appear on page one of Google for searches like “Venues for hire near me” or “Halls for hire in Stone.” This prime positioning is crucial in driving a consistent visitor flow to your listing.
Proven Traffic and Engagement: With over 100,000 monthly visitors, more than 250,000 venue detail views, and more than 1,500 booking enquiries sent out each month, your listing has the potential to reach a wide and engaged audience. This kind of exposure can mean more leads and, ultimately, more bookings for your space.
Optional Value-Added Services: While listing is free from commission fees, we also offer a range of paid additional services designed to further highlight and differentiate your venue. These options let you customize your listing to best showcase your space’s unique qualities.
Listing on is simple. You just need to create an account, submit your venue details, and watch as potential clients discover your space for weddings, business meetings, private events, and more. This platform gives you the type of targeted exposure that traditional advertising simply can’t match.
Venue Listing Charge
From August 2018, we’re introducing a small, fixed listing charge of £40.00 for new venue submissions. This fee includes Instant Enquiry Access for two years—a fantastic feature that lets you connect with potential clients right away. It’s important to note that while we’ve proudly offered free listings for four years as we built up our site and Google reputation, we now need to cover operational costs to maintain the high standard and visibility our platform provides. We remain committed to transparency by never imposing any booking commissions; the fee you pay is solely for the enhanced listing service.
This modest charge is designed not only to help cover running costs but also to encourage venue owners to keep their information current, ensuring your listing always reflects the best your space has to offer. We believe that by investing a small amount upfront, you’re more likely to engage actively with your listing over time. When you add your venue, you’ll receive an invoice that can be easily paid by bank transfer, cheque, or PayPal. We’re confident that for small venues and community spaces, the quality exposure and targeted enquiries our platform delivers make this a worthwhile investment.
Optional Chargeable Services
Upgraded Venue Listings: You give Venue owners the option to upgrade their basic listing to a Featured or Highlighted listing. Both options include extra benefits designed to boost a venue’s appeal and attract more interest.
Instant Enquiry Access / Listing Fee : Once a venue has received more than four booking enquiries or their listing has been visited more than 1000 times, there’s a small annual fee (£30.00) for providing immediate access to the enquirer’s contact details. This fee helps cover the costs associated with verifying and ensuring enquiries reach the correct venue—especially given the frequent changes in email addresses or contact personnel. If a venue chooses not to pay this fee, they will still receive enquiries, but the enquirer’s details will be delayed by 14 days.
