How sure we are

Verified open

Checked against the venue’s own listing

Capacity 50 standing A listed figure, not yet verified - check it with the venue before you book.

By size, Mr Shaws House is the 16th largest of the 16 venues we list in and around Derby with a standing capacity. Similar-size rooms: Electric Daisy (about 60); Number 28, Market Place, (about 60) and Bunk (about 70).

With room for about 50 standing, Mr Shaws House is a small room by our directory's sizes. The typical Derby room we list holds about 150, so this one is on the smaller side. Small rooms like this reward acts with a loyal local audience: the fee is often a door split, and a full room comes from your own guest list rather than the venue's marketing. The figure is listed, not yet verified, so check it with the venue before you plan around it.
