If you're looking to soak up the quintessential English summer vibe, this one-of-a-kind setting is for you.

Guests are also able to avail of the onsite garden games, including giant games such as Chess,  Jenga, and Connect Four alongside classic garden party games, Boules and Croquet. 

Available for 2025 from 11th June - 4th July, and we very much hope that the venue will be returning for a 2026 season and the venue is suitable for up to 400 guests for a sumptuous standing event. 

Charterhouse Square itself is nestled between London’s historic Smithfield and Clerkenwell, and brings centuries of history whilst Moving Venue have brought the space to life with a contemporary charm. With roots dating back to the 14th century, the area offers your event a timeless elegance like no other. The summer set up also comes replete with luxury WC's (tried tested and approved by the VSL team) and cloakroom facilities. 

Ever the opportunists, the VSL team also took a moment to tour The Charterhouse. The Charterhouse has been an almshouse since 1611, however its fascinating story dates back to medieval times and the era of the Black Death. It has been a medieval monastery, a grand Tudor mansion and also a school to name a few. The venue boasts three main spaces:

The Great Hall

A stunning and grand room, the Great Hall is perfect for receptions and formal dinners. Featuring a striking arched ceiling, magnificent windows, with a fine fireplace by Edmund Kinsman, a gallery and ornate carved wooden screen, the space can accommodate a maximum of 180 guests standing or 100 for a seated dinner.

The Great Chamber

With its stunning Tudor ceiling, impressive Jacobean fireplace and striking green silk wallpaper, this is a grand and beautifully appointed space perfect for a dinner or presentation, up to 120 Theatre style or 110 for a dinner. 

The Norfolk Cloister

A stone flag floor and original features include an original doorway leading to one of the Carthusian monk’s cells. Later in the 18th century the ‘offside’ rule in football can claim its origins in this room, as the boys of Charterhouse School were the first to implement it in this space. With its serene atmosphere the cloister is ideal for various events, dinners, wine tastings and an amazing backdrop for a fashion shows or filming. Suitable for up to 180 standing or 100 for a long table seated dinner, this space was one of our favourites!
