Parties:

With free venue hire for up to 200 guests, an in-house events team, and a range of menus to choose from, whether you're planning private dining, a BBQ, or a birthday bash, Racks is the place to celebrate.

Aside from their many indoor spaces, they have a large outdoor terrace—perfect for al fresco summer parties, barbecues, and refreshing drinks in the sun.

Meetings:

The Engine Room is a meeting room nestled in one of Racks’ alcoves. Quiet and self-contained, the room has everything you need: a board room style table, a large screen Smart TV with A/V facilities, a coffee machine and a printer. There’s even a breakout space with plush velvet sofas and armchairs, perfect for some downtime. Suitable for up to 8 people, the room is ideal for those smaller meetings that need to have their own space. The Engine Room can be hired out for as little as one hour to as long as a full week.

Racks also has the Top Table and the Playroom, which are perfect for conferences and larger presentations. The Playroom has space for up to forty seated guests, plus more with a mixed seated/standing set-up. The spacious and creatively decorated space also has direct access to the Terrace, allowing the perfect opportunity to unwind with a few drinks at the end of the day in style.
