Findr: the UK venue-booking platform for creatives and event organisers
Findr by MRVL is a UK marketplace where renters browse unique spaces - studios, halls, meeting rooms, photography venues, event spaces - and book directly from hosts. Unlike general property platforms, Findr is purpose-built for short-term creative and event bookings, with free browsing, AI search on higher tiers, and instant booking on supported venues.
What Findr does differently
Findr is a venue-booking marketplace, not a residential property platform. It connects creatives, freelancers, event organisers, and entrepreneurs with property owners who want to earn from their space. Renters can browse thousands of listings for free and submit up to 3 booking requests per month at no charge. Hosts list their space free of charge after completing Stripe KYC and MRVL approval. Findr takes a commission split per successful booking, meaning hosts never pay upfront. The platform is built for flexible, short-term use - studio time, meeting rooms, photography venues, private events - not long-stay accommodation.
Renter features and pricing
All renters start with free access: browse listings, view availability, and submit 3 booking requests per month with no charge. The Plus tier unlocks AI-powered natural-language search (search by mood, use-case, or vibe) and advanced filters to narrow results by amenities, location, or price. Pro tier adds Instant Book on supported venues, letting you secure a space immediately without waiting for host approval. Exact tier prices are shown in the app's paywall. This structure lets occasional renters stay free while power users gain search speed and certainty.
Host features and listing tiers
Hosts list their space free after Stripe Express KYC and MRVL approval. The Free Host tier allows 1 active listing. Host Pro supports up to 10 listings, and the Business tier unlocks unlimited listings. All hosts get calendar sync, in-app messaging with renters, and access to booking analytics. Hosts only pay when a booking completes - Findr takes a commission split. There are no monthly fees, listing fees, or platform charges. This model encourages hosts to activate unused space without financial risk.
How Findr works in practice
A freelancer needs a meeting room for a client call. They open Findr, browse available spaces in their area (free), select one, and submit a booking request. The host receives the request via in-app messaging, confirms availability, and the booking is locked in. For Instant Book venues, the booking confirms immediately. A photographer books a studio on Tuesday evening using AI search to find 'bright, minimal spaces with north-facing light' - the Plus tier understands that query and surfaces relevant listings. A property owner lists their unused garage studio; within weeks, they're earning from weekend bookings. As of June 2026, Findr operates across the UK with a growing community of hosts and renters.
Why Findr for event and creative spaces
Event organisers and creatives need speed and variety. Findr's free browsing means no commitment to explore options. AI search on the Plus tier saves hours of scrolling - describe what you need, not what it's called. Instant Book on Pro tier removes approval delays for time-sensitive bookings. For hosts, the commission-only model means zero risk. You list your space and earn only when it's booked. Calendar sync keeps your availability current, and in-app messaging handles logistics without needing a separate CRM. Findr is built around the creative and event booking workflow, not long-stay rentals.
