BMA House

The Council Chamber costs £1,320+VAT for a full day hire (9am-5pm). This includes state-of-the-art AV equipment with data projector, screen, PA system with up to 8 microphones, individual delegate microphones, electronic voting system, flipchart, and technician support for setup.

The Council Chamber accommodates up to 88 delegates in theatre-style seating with a nine-seat hosting panel at the top table. The room is specifically designed for meetings, interactive debates and AGMs with individual laptop and microphone connections at each seat.

There is a minimum catering spend of £250+VAT for lunch when booking meeting rooms. For Day Delegate Rate packages, minimum numbers of 70 apply at £95+VAT per person, which includes room hire, catering throughout the day, and AV support.

No, external catering is not permitted due to BMA House's exclusive contract with their in-house caterers. All food and beverage must be provided through their catering team.

The Council Chamber is fully accessible and located on the first floor. The venue has wheelchair accessibility, though some areas may require use of wheelchair lifts with weight restrictions that could be unsuitable for electric wheelchairs, so advance notice is required for wheelchair users.

Enquiries typically expire in their system after a specific timeframe, with venues managers stating dates like "please let me know if you are interested in booking by the 25th June, after this time your enquiry will expire in our system." The exact timeframe varies but appears to be several weeks to a month.

BMA House aims to respond to enquiries within 1-2 days. They are currently experiencing high volumes of enquiries, so patience is requested during busy periods.

The Council Chamber features an electronic voting system with live voting buttons at each seat, individual microphone connections for every delegate, push-to-talk microphones, a touch screen for speakers, and an induction loop system. This makes it ideal for AGMs and interactive debates requiring audience participation.

Standard meeting room hire runs from 9am-5pm. Some spaces like the Garden have restrictions (closes at 22:00), and evening events in the Garden & Garden Room can only be booked from 6:30pm-11pm. Access times can sometimes be extended or start earlier depending on setup requirements.

The Council Chamber has dual aspect windows providing plenty of natural light with views over the Garden and Courtyard. Full blackout blinds can be installed when required for presentations or AV-heavy sessions.
