Space for gigs/Performance art/Noise?

Looking to put on some gigs with genres including powerviolence, grindcore, anything noise adjacent, sound art. Does anyone know of any spaces around that would accommodate this? Probably looking at like 80 capacity max if that.

On sunday I did some ligament damage to my right knee (lower thigh area) from stage diving at a gig - I know, very stupid of me.

I visited A&E where they did an XRAY and ruled out any breaks and said based off initial observations its some form of ligament damage (possibily a torn acl) but without further tests they can't fully diagnose it. Currently I've been advised to wear a stint 24/7 until my appointment with the surgeon which is in 3 weeks. There is quite significant swelling around the lower thigh area and I can only bear some weight (basically shuffling my feet along to walk). I've been using crutches to get around for the mean time and using ice to reduced the swelling and elevating my leg.

I have a beach holiday booked to Egypt on Friday for 7 days and I'm worried about being fit to fly. I'm fine with basically being a statue on the beach because I can't get any money back or amend the dates. Earliest appointment with my GP I can get is tomorrow morning but if I were to change the name on the holiday booking to a friend, I have until the end of today. Should I take the risk or swap the booking with a friend?

I should note that I was able to get back from Glasgow (where the gig was) down to london via train so its not as if I'm totally bed bound but I'm taking strong co-codamol and more concerned about the risk of DVT and keeping it elevated during the 4 hour flight.

TL;DR 27/M besides type 1 diabetes (well controlled) I'm otherwise healthy. Damaged ligament in right leg 2 days ago. Have a beach holiday booked in 3 days time. Am I ok to fly?
