Good news, party people. A brand-new warehouse music venue is opening in the far reaches of east London. And it’s got a 4am licence.
The 4,000-capacity venue, called Eutopia Warehouse, will open in Barking on Halloween (October 31) with Howloween, an all-night rave from LGBTQ collective Howl.
The indoor-outdoor venue is set across four different arenas, each with a capacity ranging between 800 and 1,700. Eutopia has taken over a former industrial site on the River Roding in Barking which underwent a mega £1.5 million renovation. The space is now kitted out with d&b Audiotechnik sound systems, 360-degree stages, a dance tunnel, art installations, bars and space for food vendors.
The new night-time spot is founded by music industry experts and veteran promoters, including Nikki Gordon, the former head of Ministry of Sound, and promoters behind Oval Space, Percolate Live, Groove Odyssey and Back to 95.
Eutopia has announced a number of events between Halloween and New Year’s Eve. Promoters set to take over the space in its first wave of programming include 51st State Festival, AEG, Appetite, Breakin Science, Centerforce, Dance On Arrival, Space Ibiza, World Dance and Zulu Nation, spanning everything from minimal and house to bass, Afro, amapiano and more.
The venue also plans to host cultural gatherings, live gigs, exhibitions and community events in 2026 and beyond.
Eutopia Whs, 42 River Road, Barking, IG11 0DW. Opens Oct 31.
