London’s Clapham Grand launches wedding parties with a showstopping giveaway

For the first time in its 125-year history, the Clapham Grand is opening its doors to wedding celebrations. The Grade II listed building - one of London’s most iconic entertainment venues - will now play host to a new kind of spectacle: unforgettable wedding receptions steeped in history, theatrical flair and a touch of irreverent glamour.

A Grand Proposal: Clapham Grand launches wedding parties!

To mark this landmark moment, The Grand has launched a competition offering one couple the chance to win their dream wedding reception this summer, becoming the first to celebrate their nuptials within its glittering walls.

Clapham Grand has long been a stage for legends. Charlie Chaplin performed during its early music hall era and over the decades the venue has welcomed everyone from Harry Houdini and Marie Lloyd to Oasis, Dua Lipa and Heidi Montag. In more recent years, it has become a cultural home for drag royalty, hosting every winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race, with moments of pure spectacle including Channing Tatum’s strip tease during the filming of Magic Mike 3 and Gemma Collins singing Mariah Carey after a special dance from drag queen, Tayce. It is a venue where pop culture meets performance - and now, romance.

The soon to be unveiled Grand Wedding packages will offer a range of options for couples seeking something truly unique. From sit-down dinners beneath theatrical lighting to full-scale parties with immersive entertainment, each celebration is designed to transform the space into a love story like no other. Options include bespoke menus, dramatic stage moments and a post-midnight appearance from The Grand’s cult-favourite “Hot Beige” buffet - a spread of comfort food classics to keep guests dancing until the early hours.

The winning couple will receive exclusive use of the venue for their wedding reception and have access to the bars and Clapham Grand’s roster of talent. Whether it be The Grand’s own DJs, drag performers, eclectic entertainers or even a Bongo’s Bingo - they can do it all. It marks the beginning of a new chapter in The Grand’s storied legacy, offering couples the chance to make history in a venue synonymous with it.
