About this space
The Tent is a unique space located just a stone's throw from the thoroughfare of Bishopsgate and Liverpool St. Station. A 16-sided structure, made in Saudi Arabia and covered in woven goat's hair, the tent is ideal for meetings, workshops/training events and parties. Along with the stunning garden courtyard it is a real oasis in the City!
It is carpeted and fully heated, with atmospheric lighting. The tent is circular with cushioned bench seating around the edge. There are no tables in the tent and people are asked to remove their shoes before entering.
The undercover glass foyer that overlooks the courtyard garden may be used to set out food and refreshments

Party · 30 guests
Our group loved this venue - a safe, cosy and inviting space and certainly unexpected for this price range in the middle of London and walking distance from train station. Beautiful exterior garden with good privacy and security gate. Accessible venue (ramp and only one small step) in a central location. Excellent value for money and staff with clear friendly communication from staff.
As mentioned, the entrance was a bit hard to find as shown wrongly on Google Maps. A diagram published on the website would be beneficial to correct this.
Shoes were not allowed in the tent - some people have suggested shoe racks or cabinets could be provided, and also some mats outside for walking on in socks after shoe removal and a place to dispose of rubbish.

Beautiful venue. Perfect venue for a party for 30, especially on a warm evening. Ilia who arranged the booking and Nelson who helped us on the night could not have been more helpful. Highly recommended.

About St Ethelburga's Centre
The location is a stunning venue situated near Liverpool Street. It provides a fantastic combination of intimacy and grandeur with original 14th-century arches providing the backdrop to the main space. Destroyed by an IRA bomb in 1993, it has been rebuilt with modern features and offers a unique and memorable space for any event. It is equipped with fast WiFi and has an in-house projector and sound system available in the main space.
The Bedouin Tent is a circular space, ideal for meetings and away-days, intimate gatherings and workshops, while the Nave offers a spectacular space for larger events.
This is a place like no other!
