Canvas Events is a venue-finding platform built for savvy event planners, making it fast and free to discover inspiring venues across London and Manchester. Trusted by more than 250,000 users, from in-house teams to agencies and brands, Canvas takes the hassle out of finding, contacting, and booking the perfect space.
Every venue is hand-picked and reviewed by the Canvas team before it goes live, quality over quantity, always. The platform is completely free to use, with no booking or transaction fees, and because prices are set directly by the venues, you'll never pay more than going direct. Planners connect with venues without middlemen, guided by real response rates and times on every listing, while AI-assisted search powers smart matching and streamlined communication from start to finish.
And for planners who'd rather hand the search over entirely, there's Matchmaker PRO — the free Canvas concierge service. Share your brief and the team does the rest: building a tailored shortlist, negotiating rates on your behalf, and unlocking off-market and exclusive venues you won't find anywhere else. Hours of venue hunting, saved, at no cost.
