Find a One-of-a-Kind Event Venue Today
Findr is a UK venue marketplace that lets you browse and instantly book unique creative and event spaces, studios, and halls from independent hosts without commission markups.
What Makes Findr Different for Unique Venues
Most venue search platforms show you hotels or standardised function spaces. Findr focuses on one-of-a-kind locations: independent studios, photography venues, creative halls, flexible meeting rooms, and purpose-built event spaces run by individuals and small operators. You search by location, capacity, and amenities, and most venues let you message the host directly before booking. There's no middleman markup, because hosts list for free and Findr only takes a small commission when you complete a booking.
How to Find and Book a Space Today
Download Findr on iOS or Android. Create a free account and start browsing available spaces in your area. You get three booking requests per month on the free tier, which is enough for most one-off events or creative projects. If you need unlimited requests and access to AI powered search (which lets you describe your event in plain language), upgrade to Plus. For venues that support Instant Book, the Pro tier lets you secure the space immediately without waiting for host approval.
Free Browsing with Optional Upgrade
Browsing Findr is completely free. You can explore dozens of unique venues, read descriptions, check availability calendars, and see photos before you commit to anything. The free tier includes three booking requests per month. Plus tier adds natural language search so you can type things like 'cosy studio with industrial features' and get relevant results, plus advanced filters for specific amenities. Pro tier on top of that unlocks Instant Book on supported venues, meaning you can confirm your booking with one tap instead of waiting.
Why Hosts Choose Findr
If you own a space you'd like to rent out for events, photoshoots, meetings, or creative projects, Findr gives you a direct connection to renters without the fees of traditional booking platforms. After a quick Stripe verification and MRVL approval, your listing goes live. You set your own rates, manage your calendar in the app, and message renters directly. Listings are free. Findr takes a small commission only when a booking is confirmed, so you're not paying upfront costs.
Search Smarter with AI (Plus Tier)
If you book venues regularly, Plus unlocks AI powered search. Instead of filtering by category and capacity alone, you can describe what you're after in plain English. Your event style, vibe, equipment needs, and location preferences get matched to suitable spaces. This is especially useful if you're looking for something specific that standard filters might miss, like 'intimate venue with exposed brick and good natural light' or 'flexible space for a workshop with breakout rooms'.
Book Instantly Without Waiting (Pro Tier)
Most venues on Findr require you to send a booking request and wait for the host to accept. Pro tier unlocks Instant Book on supported listings, meaning you can reserve the space immediately. The host has already pre-approved instant bookings at set rates, so you see availability and pricing upfront with no back-and-forth. This is perfect if you've found your ideal venue and you want to secure it straight away.
