For weekend events or anything over 100 guests, aim to book at least 4 to 8 weeks in advance. Smaller venues can sometimes be available with just a few days’ notice, but last-minute dates can be tricky in busy months like May, June or December.
Yes, many venues listed on Tagvenue welcome public or ticketed events. Just make sure to mention this when enquiring, especially if you're expecting a large turnout or need door staff or a licence check. District, Mansion Nightclub, and Laughterhouse Comedy are all examples of venues where ticketed shows are common.
