One of the most important but difficult tasks of running a successful club or ongoing community activity is choosing the right venue! Whether you’re running a holiday club, sports tournaments, adult classes or theatre rehearsals, selecting the perfect venue is key.
In this comprehensive guide, you’ll discover how to select the best spaces to create memorable experiences for your attendees. With our online booking system and a huge range of facilities available, finding and booking your ideal venue has never been easier! Read on for our top tips for venue hunting…
Convenient Location
The first key consideration in finding your next perfect venue is your location. If you're running a local sports team or a regular group meeting, you want it to be in the heart of your community, easily accessible and at hand for current and new people to be a part of. Opt for somewhere that has excellent transport links and/or parking to make it easy and convenient for both you and your participants, giving you a smooth, relaxing start to your sessions and a space where you can continue to grow your business and reach as many people as possible.
Exceptional Venues that are Fit for Purpose
Whether you're envisioning the thrill of a football match on a pristine pitch, the captivating drama in a spacious studio, or the infectious energy of outdoor sports and games on well-maintained MUGAs, make sure your venue can bring your vision to life.
By truly understanding the unique needs of your activity and group, you can narrow down your choices and zero in on venues that promise to elevate every aspect of your community’s experience. Choose purpose-built venues to accommodate your requirements and not only meet but exceed your expectations.
Safety and Security
Your activity is all about having fun, but to make sure that can happen it’s important to make sure everyone is safe. Look for a venue that goes above and beyond in meeting health and safety standards. From well-maintained equipment to comprehensive first aid provisions, ensure every aspect is covered to guarantee a worry-free experience. And when it comes to security, make sure the venue offers protection against unauthorised access to create a safe and secure space for all involved.
But safety isn't the only consideration – your venue must also be compliant with the specific needs of your activity. If you're working with children, double check your meeting Ofsted requirements. And in today's digital age, don't overlook GDPR compliance – safeguard your members' data by choosing a venue equipped to keep your documentation secure.
By prioritising safety and compliance, you're not just renting a venue – you're providing a trusted space where your group can flourish and build lasting bonds.
Useful Amenities and Accessibility
Each activity carries its own set of needs and its own vision for what makes an ideal space, including amenities that will truly enhance the experience. As you evaluate potential venues, pay close attention to the amenities they offer. From the practicality of toilets and changing rooms to the modern convenience of wifi and ample storage space for all your equipment and supplies, ensure that every aspect is carefully considered to facilitate the smooth running of your sessions.
But don't stop there – go the extra mile to ensure that your venue is truly inclusive. Consider the needs of all your attendees, including those with disabilities, and seek out venues that offer accessibility features such as step-free access and accessible toilets. By prioritising inclusivity, you create a welcoming environment where everyone can participate fully and feel valued.
