On October 12, 2023 Hootananny Brixton Venue CIC was incorporated with Companies House. It is a not-for-profit social enterprise that is owned and operated by its members for the benefit of the local community in Lambeth and the surrounding areas. Our admission charges cover both the show costs and the performer fees. Any surplus generated from events promoted by the CIC beyond that goes towards enhancing the local grassroots music scene, as per our objects. Please note that as a not-for-profit organisation we benefit from cultural exemption of VAT on any admission charges to live music events, further supporting our community purpose. The pub and backpackers hostel remain a Ltd company.

Hootananny aims to create a safer space

• We will not tolerate behaviour which makes customers, staff or acts feel unsafe
• If anyone on the premises feels unsafe we invite them to communicate this to our security and staff to ensure offending customers, staff or musicians asked to leave
• We are part of the Ask for Angela scheme; Ask for Angela is there to help vulnerable people, primarily women, in public places. If you go to the bar and ask for ‘Angela’ the bar staff will know you need help getting out of your situation and will call you a taxi or help you out discreetly – without too much fuss
• We have had training with the Campaign for Good Night Out so that we can better understand, respond to, and prevent sexual harassment and assault in our spaces
