What it does
Everything a small venue needs, in one app
Swap the paper log books, spreadsheets and separate booking system for one place that reminds you what's due and keeps proof that it's done.
Bookings and payments
Take requests, invoices and deposits, set up weekly hires, and sync with Google Calendar so you never double-book.
Hirer briefings
Hirers get a short safety briefing by text, upload their insurance and sign online. No app for them, no chasing for you.

Martyn's Law
Martyn's Law for village halls, pubs and churches
The Terrorism (Protection of Premises) Act 2025, known as Martyn's Law, asks venues to be ready to keep people safe if an attack happened. For most small venues that means written plans and trained people, not security guards or building work.
VenueSorted works out whether it applies to you, writes your plans in plain English, trains your team and keeps the proof.

200 to 799

Under 200?
The law won't apply, but VenueSorted still keeps every other check and booking sorted.
This is a summary, not legal advice. Official guidance is on GOV.UK and ProtectUK.

Frequently asked questions
Does Martyn's Law apply to my venue?
It's based on how many people could be on your premises at the same time. Venues expecting 200 to 799 people are in the standard tier, and 800 or more in the enhanced tier. Some places, such as places of worship, stay in the standard tier whatever their size. VenueSorted asks a few simple questions to give you a likely answer, and we recommend checking the official guidance if you're unsure.
Do I need to be good with technology?
No. VenueSorted is designed for volunteers and busy owners. Everything is in plain English, works on a phone or a laptop, and hirers don't need an app at all.
How much will it cost?
Launch pricing will be a simple monthly or yearly fee per venue, with group pricing for dioceses, pub companies and councils. People on the waitlist will hear first and get the launch price.
Can it replace my current booking system?
That's the aim. VenueSorted handles requests, invoices, deposits and regular weekly hires, and can sync with Google Calendar and other calendars while you switch over.
Is this legal advice?
No. VenueSorted helps you organise your checks, plans and records, but your venue remains responsible for its own safety and for meeting the law. For complex situations, speak to a fire safety professional or adviser.
Does it work in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland?
Yes. Fire safety rules differ across the UK, so your checks change depending on where your venue is. Martyn's Law applies across the whole UK.
