Venue Hire
Welcome to Margate’s best-kept secret — a seaview restaurant, bar, and venue. 📧 reservations@faithinstrangers.co.uk | 📞 01843 621337
Faith In Strangers is a modern discothèque by the sea — purpose-built for celebration.
With panoramic views, a custom-built sound system, and food led by Chef Jackson Berg (St. John, Bistroteque), it’s a space that brings people together over good music, great drinks, and memorable meals.
We offer:
Full venue hire for large-scale events, with space for up to 300 guests.
Partial hire of our private dining room, which is ideal for intimate feasts, long-table lunches or dinners, and group gatherings with our Deluxe Buffet or curated canapé service. 36 seated / 70 standing.
If you’re not looking to hire the full venue, this is a great option for smaller celebrations.

Hidden from the public view, journey on up the secret entrance and through two bespoke light and audio art installations (which you can customise to your preference) to an environment that’s been designed from the ground up to stimulate all the senses and interact with the audience to create that awe inspiring factor that will kick the events off with a high energy atmosphere from all of your attendees.
Elevate your event with food and drink that leave a lasting impression. At Faith In Strangers, we believe that what’s on the table shapes the whole experience. Led by Chef Jackson Berg (St. John, Bistroteque), our menus are rooted in quality, seasonality, and bold flavour — whether you’re planning a plated dinner, a feasting spread, a deluxe buffet, curated canapés or a Feast Of The Gods.
Every detail is considered — from the rhythm of service to the balance of the drinks list. Our bar team builds a programme to match the moment, with seasonal cocktails, carefully chosen wines, and pours that bring the night together.
We require a minimum spend on food and beverages. Please fill out the form above with your event details and budget, and we’ll do our best to tailor a package that meets your needs.

Your Party Is Part of Something Bigger
If you’re booking the dining room, keep in mind that Faith In Strangers hosts an ongoing cultural programme, often booked months in advance — so there may be DJs or live events happening in the venue while your celebration is taking place.
We’ve welcomed some of the world’s most respected selectors through our doors — including Horse Meat Disco, Luke Una, Mr Scruff, Joy Orbison, Coco Maria, Charlie Bones, Mafalda, Colleen ‘Cosmo’ Murphy, George Fitzgerald, Greg Wilson, Crazy P, DJ Paulette, Bill Brewster, Joe Goddard, Alexis Taylor, Ashley Beedle and more. Our resident DJs are equally brilliant and can be booked to soundtrack your event.
If you’re interested in Full Venue Hire, we recommend enquiring well in advance — especially if you’d like to book on a weekend night — as availability is limited due to our live programme. For events on nights we’re usually closed, there’s often more flexibility.

Our venue can be customised through lighting, projector screens and multichannel audio. Great for brand takeovers launching new projects or products. With a fully functional sound system and all the gear needed and already set up.
Our venue is flooded with seaviews and light during the day and can work well for design and art fairs, that could lead into more of a party in the evenings.
Our Terrace Lounge is the perfect private spot for birthdays.
We have everything you need on site for your special occassion.
We take our sound seriously.
The first thing you’ll notice about Faith In Strangers is the amazing views, the second might be how good the venue sounds. Architecturally designed with acoustic panelling and angled walls has created a sonically sound housing for our custom built ‘Poseidon Sound System’
The venue also hosts a unique multi-channel array set up of Funktion One speakers. 24 of them are placed around the venue which creates the opportunity to make spatial sound scapes along with separate individual outputs, evoking a sense of theatre that immerses the audience from entering the building.
What does this mean? — You’ll be able to greet your guests with pre-recorded audio content in all the different zones as you please, as your guests enter the venue, walking through the hallway, up the stairs, in the bogs and in the different areas of the main space too. Perfect for a brand launch or to intro the evening and continually engage over the course of the event.
