FESTIVAL VENUE

Welcome To The Pharaoh Shimmies London Festival which will be held at

Chats Palace Arts Centre ​

The Perfect Location in London

Creative space with a studio, gallery, and darkroom, plus a theatre and music performance venue.

Since 1976, we’ve stood at the heart of our East London community from our Grade II-listed building — rooted in working-class culture and driven by the belief that art and education are powerful tools for social change.
There is ample space for banquet seating, as well as room for a band and dance floor to complete the evening’s entertainment. Here, you and your loved ones can relax and embrace the excitement of the day, benefiting from exclusive use of the main event area. Along with this, there is a bar area where wedding-goers can get their drinks topped up.

Situated in the bustling borough of Hackney, East London, Chats Palace Arts Centre is a unique venue with plenty of quirky charm. We are a landmark grade II listed building- a historical site perfect for celebrating your own milestone occasion. The impressive facade opens into a spacious event area that you can bring to life for your special day.
