Evening Entertainment
Hackney House is the coolest pop up venue in town. With free entertainment - one live act and a resident DJ each night of the Olympics there's nowhere else to be. With a fabulous bar and cafe run by top local outfit Railroad, make this your destination of choice until the Olympic Games close on 12th August
All events at Hackney House are free but we would like you to let us know that you are coming.
The events that are open for booking have Eventbrite buttons next to them. Please check below and register for the event you would like to attend (please only book if you are going to be attending as the events are very popular). Any questions please email
Use it then lose it - Hackney House will pop out of existence in September - so make the most of this incredible venue with its incredible content that, incredibly, costs nothing to attend. Did we happen to mention that this was incredible?
