Frequently asked questions
What is the pricing structure for hiring the Events spaces at Shelter Hall?
Shelter Hall pricing is a combination of a room hire fee and a minimum spend which varies by space, day, and time.
What is included in the minimum spend, and how can it be allocated?
The minimum spend can be met through purchases of food and drinks. There are options to pre-pay the spend and distribute digital vouchers, pre-order platters and drinks, or allow guests to order and pay as they go through the venue's QR code system. If the minimum spend is not met, the balance must be paid by the hirer.
Can we select our own catering and drinks options?
Catering must be ordered through Shelter Hall’s diverse selection of seven kitchens. Drinks options include cocktails, local craft beers, wines, soft drinks, and spirits. Pre-ordered platters/buffet menus and bar tabs are available, or guests can order individually on the day via QR code. Vegetarian and dietary requirement options are available but must be confirmed during pre-ordering.
