Well, how many people do you wish to invite? It’s safe to say that venues in Leeds usually offer enough space for up to 100 guests. But what happens if you want to invite even more? Well, the good news is that although the average capacity ranges between 50 and 100 people, there are actually spaces that offer enough room for even up to 290 people. So if you’re planning a large event, a product launch, a networking event or something else, there will be plenty of room for everyone involved.

If you’re looking to hire the space for free and only pay for the food, service and drinks, then make sure to check out our minimum-spend venues. These types of event spaces range anywhere from  £300 to around £1000. If you wish to save a little money, then those types of venues are great to book! However, if you plan to invite a smaller number of guests, then we suggest you also check out venues where you pay a certain amount per person.(All data from Tagvenue.)

For one, booking online is usually a cheaper option–which is why hiring a space through Tagvenue is going to be a great, budget-friendly experience! Make sure to negotiate the offer with the host, and check what's included in the cost. Look out for any hidden fees! Although having a BYOB option at a bar might seem a little silly, you could always ask if you can bring your own snacks or external catering.
