Party Venue

<P style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify; MARGIN: 0cm 0cm 0pt" class=MsoNormal><SPAN style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt"><FONT face=Arial>I know there are various wedding discussions on the board, but has anybody got an recommendations for a really nice, reasonably priced (free) function room in the area.  For a party of up to 50 people, following a day time wedding and small lunch in angel - we would like to have an informal 'party' for our local friends in the evening.  Because it's mid-June and hopefully fine weather everywhere we've seen between N1 and N4 seems fine in winter but would be pretty shabby in summer.</FONT></SPAN></P>

Don't know of anywhere in N4. The Ironworks in Islington is nice, or was the last time I went to a wedding party there.

Just realised you needed free or low-priced. Oops.<br>

the cricket club in Crouch End is quite nice - we've had a few family parties there.

I agree the Cricket Club in Crouch End is lovely especially on a nice sunny evening. Friends of mine had their wedding reception there last year in July while I dj'd

Have been there for a wedding - good venue.

Try the Refugee Centre in Leeds Place, former piano factory. My ex father in law had great family do there for a birthday. Great views from top but no outside space. Or IAms school which has a nice new theatre you can use. In both places you would need your own catering - I can recommend a great woman in Stoke Newington. Or park theatre wi be avail for hire.

We did my mother's 70th at the Canal Museum a couple of years ago, and it was a lovely location - but not what I would call cheap - I mean it wasn't as much as the full-on professional places we looked at, but I think it was around £800. But we cooked all the food ourselves, and it was a lovely place to be (esp as my mother and her bloke do a lot of canal boating, of course). You don't need anything so big, though, by the sound of it - this was about 400 people. <div>Other thoughts: Lauderdale House? (lovely, but no idea what it costs.<span style="font-size: 10pt;">) The Old Dairy? (I know, but they do a lot of this kind of thing.) Another vote for Cricket Club, too, lots of people have parties there, though transport not so good. Hmm...</span></div>

Been to the canal museum too. Great venue.<br>

The old London School Board schools (like Montem and Stroud Green Primary) sometimes have beautiful main halls that can be up for hire after school hours.

Mind has been done up and has a nice outdoor space, and I don't think it's too expensive.

thanks everybody!  It's  a Saturday and seemingly a very popular date with lots of venues, as suggested here, already booked up!  We're now probably having it at home ....  hmmm!
