Yours for 5 hours, with the option to extend. No room hire fee. We can arrange welcome drinks, buffet and cakes to make your occasion extra special.

Our buffet, dedicated staff and flexible drinks options mean all you need to do is turn up and celebrate.

Anniversaries

Anniversaries deserve somewhere that feels a little special. DV8 gives you a private space to share a great meal and a great night without the fuss. From a table for two extended into a private dining area, to a full venue takeover for a milestone year — we'll help make it one to remember.

Christenings & Baby Showers

Gather your favourite people to celebrate new arrivals in style. Our private areas offer a relaxed, welcoming atmosphere that works perfectly for all-ages gatherings. We'll sort the food, keep the drinks flowing and make sure the little one gets a day that gets talked about for years.

Corporate Events & Work Dos

Need somewhere for a team night out, awards evening, end-of-quarter celebration or corporate function? DV8's full venue hire on Sundays and Mondays is the perfect blank canvas. We'll work with you on food and drinks packages that suit your group, so you can focus on the people, not the planning.

Wakes & Celebrations of Life

At times like these, having the right space makes all the difference. DV8 offers a private, comfortable setting where family and friends can come together, share memories and celebrate a life well lived. We'll handle everything with care and sensitivity — just get in touch and we'll take it from there.

Any Occasions

If it's worth celebrating, we can host it. Retirement dos, engagement parties, school leavers, sports teams, club nights — if you've got a reason to get together, we've got a space for it. Drop us a message and let's sort something out.

The perfect venue for your special occasion

From exclusive venue hire to private areas within DV8, we cater for a wide range of events, including birthdays, christenings, celebrations, and corporate functions. Our private spaces can accommodate groups from as few as 12 guests.
