Battersea Arts Centre

Celebrate your wedding at Battersea Arts Centre – a historic London wedding venue unlike any other.

If you're searching for a unique London wedding venue, Battersea Arts Centre offers an extraordinary setting where history, creativity and celebration come together.

The Grand Hall is a vast, light-filled space with a soaring vaulted ceiling, dramatic architecture and a flexible layout, creating a stunning backdrop for ceremonies, dining, receptions and evening celebrations.

Whether you dream of an elegant black-tie reception, a romantic candlelit banquet or a vibrant party filled with music and dancing, BAC provides a truly versatile canvas to bring your vision to life with florals, lighting, décor, staging and personalised design.

Immersed in London history

Located in Southwest London, our Grade II* listed building has been part of community life for more than 125 years. Originally Battersea Town Hall, it has hosted suffragette meetings, the voting in of John Archer as the first Black mayor of a London borough, and galas supporting survivors of the Titanic. When the building faced demolition 50 years ago, the community came together to save it, and Battersea Arts Centre was born.

A wedding that gives back

When you choose BAC, you're supporting an independent charity and cultural organisation at the heart of the local community. Income generated through weddings helps maintain this extraordinary historic building and directly supports year-round artistic and community programmes.
