FIRST LOOK AT MINISTRY OF SOUND’S BRAND NEW £500K VIP AREA

THE NEW SPACE IS OFFICIALLY OPEN FOLLOWING EXTENSIVE RENOVATIONS.

The sounds of construction have been echoing through Elephant and Castle recently, as Ministry of Sound undergoes a major transformation of its VIP area. Welcome to No Velvet Rope Society - an inclusive new experience designed for true music lovers, with a focus on elevated sound and a new mezzanine overlooking the infamous Box.


Ministry of Sound has unveiled a forward-facing new chapter with its £500,000 transformation - the venue's first major renovation in 15 years. Guests now enter through a gritty back-alley entrance, a deliberate nod to its raw 90s roots. Inside, a newly built mezzanine offers a high-spec sound experience with direct views into it’s main arena The Box, immersing guests in the iconic Martin Audio sound system that helped make Ministry a global name.


Says Caitlin McAllister, Group Managing Director, Ministry of Sound, “The launch of our new VIP space marks a bold new chapter for Ministry of Sound. This transformation has been a personal passion project of mine for years, and seeing it finally come to life is incredibly special. We’ve literally knocked down walls to open up the space and connect it directly to The Box, creating a seamless, elevated experience that brings guests and artists even closer to the music, the energy, and the atmosphere that define our club. This isn’t just a refurbishment; it’s a reimagining of what a night out should feel like — captivating, electric, and unmistakably Ministry” 


No Velvet Rope Society is Ministry of Sound’s fresh take on VIP culture—stripping away the exclusivity in favour of something more meaningful. It’s built for music lovers who want deeper, more connected experiences. 


A limited number of founding memberships are available for just £150 a year and include VIP access at all events bar student-only nights, queue jump, birthday Moët with table bookings, 15% off first table spend, and priority access for future reservations.
