The Young Vic has a range of spaces including smaller meeting rooms, studio spaces for conferences or events and our Main House theatre. Located on The Cut, we are just a short walk from Waterloo mainline and underground stations.
2021 Update: Due to space requirements of Young Vic staff, associate companies and the artists we are collaborating with, we are not currently offering any spaces for hire from external parties at this time. Please note that more generally, we do not take hires for public performances by external parties, showcases or (drama) school productions.
When we are able to offer our spaces for hire again, we will update this page with information on how to get in touch.
Should you wish to hire The Cut Bar for an event, please contact them directly here.
