Best plays to host a private gig?

Hey Guys!

Looking for some advice,

My band are looking to host our own Gig event in the next few months on the date of our EP release (which will be whenever the show can be organised for) and have several acts lined up.

Including Marionettes who may or may not be able to perform depending on the date,

The biggest issue is that the ages of the memebers of the bands is 16-23ish, which means there are many venues who won't touch us with a barge pole due to the under 18's.

The show would be an all evening event, with 3-7 bands (depending on what we can get and are allowed to do,

Anyone have any reccomendations?

We were able to play the Malt Mill when our drummer was only 14. It was classed as a private function and therefore not subject to the usual regulations.

What is the capacity like?

We're looking for something in the 250-500 region ideally,

and what was the experience like?

Sorry, we're not really sure where to go for this or the best way to do it you see!

Tunnels wouldn't let you play there because of the under 18s things? I could be wrong but I'm sure I want to a gig in Tunnels 1 and there was a 16th birthday party going on in Tunnels 2.

I reckon you'd struggle for a venue unless you hired the whole place - Malt Mill capacity is 150 I think. This could be a bit left-field but I'm sure I read you can hire the VIP room in Institute (formally Liquid) for the night for under 18s - whether or not they'd let you have bands there, I'm not sure.
