Hire Firstsite

Our spectacular crescent-shaped building, designed by award-winning Uruguayan architect Rafael Viñoly, provides stunning, unconventional and fun hire spaces – like no other venue.

From business meetings and private parties to large scale conferences and fairs, our friendly Venue Hire team are here to help make your event a success.

Hire Firstsite and support our local community

Firstsite is a registered charity – by hosting your event at Firstsite, you can help us continue to bring free world-class exhibitions to East Anglia. Your support will further benefit the local community through funding our local creative community projects – including free lunches and activities for families during the school holidays.

We work closely with some incredible partners and causes and all our profits go straight back into these projects.

What our customers say:

“I wanted to thank you and your team for hosting our CARA social event on Friday.   Everything went very smoothly – the food was great, the staff were lovely and very helpful and the space was (as always) fantastic.   The CARA team very much enjoyed the evening.”
