Broadwick is a multifaceted international company with headquarters in London who create, develop, own and operate a diverse portfolio of venues, spaces, events and experiences. 

Broadwick believe in redefining spaces and how people experience music, art, culture and recreation by breaking down the traditional barriers. Their history and heritage is deeply rooted in music, building a portfolio of 20 global festivals before selling the portfolio in 2019 to focus on their growing portfolio of venues that includes Printworks London, Depot Mayfield Manchester, Drumsheds London, Exhibition London and Magazine London. 

Collectively we strive to push boundaries and disrupt the cultural landscape by combining big thinking, bold ideas and commercial intelligence to produce spaces and experiences for discerning audiences in inspiring locations. 

Magazine London is a state-of-the-art venue that can flex to meet the most ambitious ideas. At over 3,000 square metres, the site is one of the largest purpose-built hybrid spaces in London, with four distinctive internal spaces and a riverside Showground. At 9,700 square metres, The Showground has an outdoor capacity of up to 7,000 people and uninterrupted views of the city skyline. 

From the floor-to-ceiling riverside views of Space 1, to the fully configurable ‘black box' of Space 2, the building's architecture reflects the industrial history of Greenwich. Built in 2019, the steel structure allows for vast and customisable use of the internal spaces, blending function with an uncompromisingly contemporary aesthetic of patinated steel, black OSB walls and polished concrete floors. 

The venue has been designed with ease of use in mind, incorporating the highest-quality technical infrastructure, staging and facilities. It can accommodate up to 10,000 people across its internal and external spaces, providing an unrivalled landscape for performances, awards dinners, conferences, exhibitions, filming, fashion and ticketed culture.
