Ministry of Sound reconstructs its VIP area for first time in 15 years

Ministry of Sound have redeveloped its VIP area for the first time in 15 years, making way for something completely new and bold – No Velvet Rope Society. A community-led experience with a focus on elevated and inclusive listening for the most dedicated of music fans.

Now entering from a gritty, back alley entrance, Ministry nods to its 90s rave culture roots, taking its new Citizens of Club Culture through a journey that is part illegal rave, part premium speakeasy. The half a million pound refurbishment, the first of tis kind in over ten years, features a high-spec sound arena with direct views into The Box where guests can feel and hear the premium sound system that gave Ministry its name.

Says Caitlin McAllister, Group Managing Director, Ministry of Sound, “ This VIP refurb has been a dream of mine since I joined Ministry of Sound 10 years ago. From the start, I knew that opening up this space to the Box would be a total game changer – not just for our guests, but for the artists too. It’s been a real passion project, and we’ve poured everything into creating something that feels bold, immersive, and electric. This isn’t just a facelift – it’s about levelling up the entire experience and bringing people even closer to the music and the energy that makes this place iconic.”
