See what is included
One plan.

Every capability. Every venue size.

  • All operational modules
  • All security features
  • All venues in the organisation
  • All users

One plan. No tiers.

There is nothing to unlock and nothing to upgrade to. Smaller organisations are not a lesser class of customer.

How the plan works

Scales from 50 people to 100,000+.

Whether you manage one small studio or several large venues, you work with the same venue management tools.

One organisation, every house

Engineered like infrastructure.

A consistent API, clearly defined permissions and separation between organisations are built into the platform, rather than added later.

Who builds Venua

Everything a venue runs on.

Your calendar, events, spaces, equipment, people, documents and finances belong together. Updates in one place stay connected to the rest of your work.

BookDays × rooms. Holds, challenges, drag to reschedule.
Event HubOne scrollable surface. Never tabs inside tabs.
ResourcesRooms, kit and people, priced and available — or not.
The Book
Days × rooms grid and month lens. Ranked holds, challenge clocks, date protection, column sets, drag to reschedule. The view is the URL.
Events
Inquiry to settled on one scrollable surface: status ratchet, readiness gates, schedule, staffing, documents. Productions group their events.
Resources
Rooms, equipment, people and services. Price definitions, prep and strike offsets, placeholders resolved later, conflicts as advisories.
People
One record per person. Teams, organisations, affiliations. No duplicate identities between contacts, crew and users.
Tasks
Outcome-based work, assigned to a person, a team or waiting visibly in the tray. Shifts and breaks say when; tasks say what.
Documents
Versioned store, generated contracts, share links with set lifetimes, single-use and email-gated links, a public page on your letterhead.
Money
Two-level pricing, discount tiers, per-rate VAT, amounts frozen at booking. Planned against actual, statements and invoices.
Multi-venue
Many houses in one organisation. Venue scope on the session, roles per venue, organisation-wide availability.

One organisation.
Every house.

Manage your theatre, cinema, gallery or studio together without losing track of what belongs where. Your team signs in once, shared equipment stays visible and booking conflicts are checked across venues.

  • Move between venues without signing in again
  • Roles granted per venue, or across all of them
  • See figures from every venue in Command Center
  • Single-venue teams get a simpler view

Security is the baseline.

Every Venua organisation gets the security features below, without buying a higher-priced tier.

Passkeys

Sign in with phishing-resistant passkeys. Passwords can remain as a fallback or be disabled for verified domains.

Included
Mandatory second factor

Every user must use a passkey or an authenticator app. Two-factor protection cannot be switched off.

Included
Single sign-on

Connect your existing identity provider, including Microsoft, Google or Okta, through OIDC or SAML. You can require company sign-in for verified domains.

Included
Full user provisioning

Keep user accounts in sync with your directory through SCIM. When someone leaves, their sessions and access can be revoked.

Included
Verified domains

Verified domains direct people to the right sign-in experience without exposing which organisations use Venua.

Included
Session control

See and revoke active sessions. Time limits and additional checks protect sensitive actions.

Included
Tenant isolation

Access is based on the signed-in user’s permissions, not on information supplied by a request.

Included
Capability-gated API

Every action is tied to an explicit permission, helping prevent gaps in access control.

Included
Audit trail

An audit trail records who made changes, when they happened and why.

Included
Signed, expiring links

Shared files use expiring links and protections against unauthorised access.

Included
Separate control plane

Venua’s internal access is separate from customer accounts and requires passkeys.

Included
In the one plan.

For the 50-seat studio and the 100,000-seat stadium alike. Your data is not less protected because you have fewer people.

Every customer

Built by security engineers.
Designed for venues.

Much of today's venue software began as something much smaller: a student project, or a tool built for one house and stretched to fit the next. Many of those products are legacy software on decade-old technology, kept alive by people whose knowledge is fading with every year.

Venua started from the other direction. It was built by experts in cybersecurity, infrastructure and architecture who have already run infrastructure and software worth billions of dollars, in organisations that cannot afford to get it wrong: systems administration, security and reliability engineering, risk management at a Big Four firm, infrastructure for a major reinsurer.

Why should a smaller venue have to compromise on the quality of its software or the safety of its data?

That is what guides Venua: reliable technology, useful day-to-day tools and the same core capabilities for every customer.

More than software. Help making it work.

Software alone does not change how a venue runs. We stay involved: showing what is possible, helping you adopt it, and finding the time and money hiding in your processes.

01

We show you what is possible.

We look at how you currently work and show where shared inventory, ranked holds or an audit trail could make a difference before you commit.

02

Set it up around your team.

We help configure your rooms, teams, statuses and pricing to match how your venue operates, including local language and requirements.

03

Find where time and money go.

Compare event budgets with actual costs, see how resources are used and spot booking issues earlier. We can review the results together.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Venua?

Venua brings bookings, events, spaces, equipment, teams, documents and finances into one system. Instead of piecing things together from spreadsheets and email, your team can work with up-to-date information in one place.

How does Venua make my team more efficient?

When you update an event, its schedule, staffing, equipment and documents stay connected. Your team can see its tasks and shifts without searching through emails or copying details between tools, so more time goes into running the event.

Will it stop us double-booking a room or a piece of kit?

Venua checks availability across your organisation and flags competing bookings. For popular spaces, ranked holds and challenge deadlines make it clear who has priority and when a decision is needed.

Does it help us fill the calendar?

See confirmed events, tentative holds and open dates together. It becomes easier to spot available slots and follow up on enquiries before dates pass unused.

Who is Venua for?

Theatres, cinemas, galleries, museums, concert halls, opera houses, arenas, studios and event spaces. If you run rooms, kit and people around events, Venua is built for you.

Is it right for a small venue, or only a large organisation?

Yes. A small studio and a large arena have different needs, but both get access to the same Venua modules and security features.

Can we run several venues together?

Yes. You can manage several venues within one organisation. Staff can move between the venues they have access to, while equipment, availability and venue-specific roles stay organised.

How does Venua handle rooms, equipment and staff?

Plan spaces, equipment, services and staffing together, including setup and breakdown time. You can see resource availability and identify potential scheduling problems earlier.

Is security an extra?

No. Venua includes single sign-on, passkeys, mandatory two-factor authentication, user provisioning and audit trails in its standard plan.

How do we get started?

We start by understanding your venue, then help configure its spaces, teams, workflows and pricing. We’ll also help your staff get comfortable with the system.

How is Venua priced?

There is one set of features, with pricing tailored to your organisation. Contact us for a quote based on your venue setup.
