Set over two large floors, ONCA’s new floating venue The Barge is perfect for leading a workshop, talk or hosting a team away day. The versatile upper deck is wheelchair accessible, with large windows that look out onto the sea and the small fishing boats at the Marina. It is a flexible and inviting space, with access to a sink and kitchen facilities, and two wheelchair-accessible toilets. The lower deck is split into two spaces: the larger is ideal for installations, screenings, performances and can also be used as a rehearsal space. The smaller is a studio or meeting space.
Location
Located in the heart of the Brighton Marina, The Barge is easily accessible whether you choose to travel by car, coach, bus, train & even plane with Gatwick being our closest London airport. Free parking is available and there is a choice of surrounding restaurants, bars, and more.
Rooms
The Barge is available to rent for a full day, half a day or for shorter periods of time. The dynamic Upper Deck offers a space for a range of events with multiple seating space, a bar/kitchenette, lunch area and two wheelchair accessible toilets. Lower Deck is a versatile area that can be used for anything from teamwork, rehearsal space to a film screening or an evening book launch. Amenities include: a projector and screen, a digital speaker system, flipchart, pens and markers.
Sustainability
The Barge is a venue with an environmentally friendly ethos. We are branch of ONCA, a Brighton-based arts charity which supports the wellbeing of people and places by increasing awareness of, and engagement with, environmental and social challenges. We host workshops for people all ages increasing environmental and local biosphere awareness, have partnerships with Brighton & Lewes Downs UNESCO World Biosphere Region, and take part in the annual Remembrance Day for Lost Species. The Barge encourages a zero single use plastic policy. We also hold the SSE Green Business Energy Certificate.

"I recommend using the venue booker! Jenny was absolutely amazing; from sourcing a number of venues to getting me and my event booked in successfully. She was very patient and friendly even when I asked her 1001 questions and changed the details of my event, she was happy to help. She was very fast at replying and on job with chasing up venues. Very good and professional service. Thank you!!! Even through the pandemic, jenny made my event possible. I would use the venue booker again. "

Easy to work with and cost-effective. In 2014 The Venue Booker was asked to identify a suitable, new venue for Chambers’ prestigious Medical Law Lecture. Jenny not only met the brief by finding the right venue but she also secured it on favourable terms.
Richard Rodger, Hailsham Chambers
