Venues & Meanwhile Use

We help property owners and creative entrepreneurs to convert disused properties into cultural opportunities to benefit them and the local community.

Meanwhile Use Specialists

We are specialists in discovering and activating empty or disused venues for ‘meanwhile use’ – the short-term or temporary usage of these spaces for cultural purposes.

We work with property owners, brokers and local authorities to ensure that the highest standards of safety and compliance are always maintained and that all the relevant regulatory standards are adhered to as part of the meanwhile use.

Meanwhile Use Feasibility

We take care of every detail; carrying out initial feasibility work and suitability studies to offer tailored solutions to suit these unique venues. We have a network of specialist consultants we utilise for everything from fire strategy to drainage certification.

If you are a producer with a show you’d like to take out in the wild, or even a property owner with a space that could be put to use for something special, get in touch with us to find out how we can create something incredible.

Meanwhile Use for Ex-Retail

Post COVID, as the retail landscape has changed, Entourage have been involved in several projects converting retail space into venues suitable for experiential attractions.

Gamepath’s Monopoly experience in Tottenham Court Road turned a disused Paperchase store into a successful visitor attraction with multiple boards to play and an extensive food & beverage offering.

Many retail property owners are now looking for alternative uses for their spaces and Entourage are perfectly placed to help assist creative organisations work through the feasibility, planning and delivery of projects ranging from temporary pop ups to permanent tenancies.
