Frequently asked questions
What is the Day Delegate Rate pricing and what does it include?

What are the capacity limits for different room configurations?
The venue can accommodate up to 150 delegates for large conferences. For cabaret-style seating, rooms can handle 100 people, with smaller configurations available for 30 people in conference style, 20 people per room for breakout sessions, and intimate meetings for 10-15 people. The venue has 14 interconnecting rooms that can be configured flexibly based on your requirements.
What AV equipment and technical support is provided?
All events include complimentary data projector, screen, flipchart, and Wi-Fi as standard. Professional technical support is available, and the venue can accommodate additional AV requirements including PA systems, handheld microphones, and HDMI connections for laptops. Advanced AV systems are available throughout the facility.
Can the venue accommodate multi-room events and what are the soundproofing capabilities?
Yes, the venue specializes in multi-room events with 14 interconnecting rooms available. The facility can provide multiple breakout rooms simultaneously - for example, 3 rooms for 20 people each plus additional smaller rooms for 10-15 people. The rooms are designed to be soundproof to prevent conversations between rooms from interfering with each other.
What are the operating hours and setup access times?
The venue operates with office hours Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday from 9am-5pm. For events, setup access is typically available from 8:00am, with events commonly running from 8:30am-5pm or 9:00am-5pm. Extended hours until midnight can be accommodated for special events.
What catering options are available beyond the Day Delegate Rate?
Beyond the standard DDR package, the venue offers flexible catering including arrival refreshments, hot fork buffet lunches, drinks receptions with canapés, and various break refreshments.

Is there alternative pricing to the Day Delegate Rate for room hire only?
Yes, the venue offers room hire at £500 for larger spaces as an alternative to the £35 per delegate option (which appears to be a different rate structure from the standard £54.95 DDR). This allows flexibility for clients who prefer to arrange their own catering or have different service requirements.
What are the booking procedures and availability constraints?
The venue requires advance booking and may have limited availability on certain dates. The sales team operates Tuesday-Thursday, 9am-5pm, and responds to availability inquiries promptly.

Does the venue accommodate evening events and what are the restrictions?
