Findr: Venue & Space Booking - A UK Alternative to Route
Findr is a UK venue-booking marketplace for studios, halls, meeting rooms, and event spaces that lets renters book instantly and hosts earn commission-free listings. Unlike Route, Findr focuses on short-term creative and event space bookings with tiered search features and instant booking on supported venues.
What Findr Does Differently
Findr is built specifically for creatives, freelancers, and event organisers who need flexible space by the hour or day. Renters browse for free and can make 3 booking requests per month at no cost. Hosts list their space after passing Stripe KYC and MRVL approval, paying no listing fee. Findr takes a small commission split only when a booking is confirmed. This model removes the upfront cost that some venue platforms charge, making it accessible for hosts with a single studio or spare meeting room.
Search and Booking Features
Free renters get basic filters to find spaces. The Plus tier adds AI and natural-language search, so you can search by describing what you need rather than clicking category filters. Pro tier adds Instant Book on supported venues, letting you secure a space immediately instead of waiting for host approval. Hosts gain access to calendar sync so they can manage bookings across multiple platforms, and messaging keeps all communication in one place.
For Hosts: Flexible Listing Options
The Free host tier allows 1 active listing. Host Pro scales to 10 listings, and Business tier unlocks unlimited listings. Every host must pass Stripe Connect Express KYC and be approved by the MRVL team before their space goes live. This vetting process keeps both sides safe. Hosts earn a commission split on each booking and keep full control over their calendar, pricing, and house rules.
Ideal For Photographers, Studios, Event Spaces
Findr works for photographers booking studio time, entrepreneurs needing a meeting room for client calls, musicians looking for rehearsal space, and event organisers securing halls for launches or workshops. Property owners with spare office space, spare studios, or event halls can list and earn passive income. In June 2026, the platform continues to grow across the UK, connecting more unique spaces with renters who value flexibility.
How Pricing Works
Renters pay nothing to browse and request bookings. Plus and Pro tier pricing is set in the iOS paywall and unlocks advanced features. Hosts pay nothing to list their space; Findr covers running costs through a booking commission split. This means both renters and hosts benefit from lower barriers to entry compared to platforms that charge upfront listing fees or membership dues.
