Frequently asked questions
What are the room hire costs and minimum catering requirements for business meetings?
The Tudor Hart room (up to 14 boardroom style) costs £660+VAT with a minimum catering spend of £250+VAT for lunch. The Anderson room (up to 22 boardroom style) has room hire costs detailed in their menu pricing pages 33-40. All business meeting rooms include data projector, screen, flipchart, and PA system with technical support for setup.
What capacity limits apply to different business meeting spaces?
The Tudor Hart room accommodates up to 14 people boardroom style, while the Anderson room handles up to 22 boardroom style. The Bevan Suite can accommodate up to 150 theatre style or 77 cabaret for larger corporate events. For Day Delegate Rate packages, minimum numbers of 70 apply in the Bevan Suite, with some packages requiring minimums of 120-130 delegates.
What AV equipment and technical support is included with room hire?
All business meeting rooms include data projector, screen, flipchart and pens, PA system, and technical support for setup. The Great Hall offers extensive AV including high-powered 4K projector, multi-channel mixing desk, up to 9 microphones, LCD monitors, laptop connections, stage lighting, and full-day technical support. Events requiring heavy AV or more than 4 lapel mics need a second technician at £450+VAT per day.
What are the Day Delegate Rate packages and what do they include?
DDR packages cost £95+VAT per person (discounted to £90+VAT for registered charities) and include meeting room hire 9am-5pm, separate catering room, arrival refreshments, mid-morning break, 2-course hot fork buffet lunch, afternoon refreshments, bottled water throughout, AV equipment, staging, Wi-Fi, and event planner support. Minimum numbers of 70 apply, with some rooms requiring 120-130 minimum delegates.
Can external caterers be brought in for business events?
No, external catering is not permitted due to BMA House's exclusive contract with their caterers. All events must use in-house catering services. For larger events, there's a minimum catering spend of £3,500+VAT plus room hire costs that would exceed most external catering budgets.
What are the booking hold periods and enquiry expiration timelines?
Enquiries have specific expiration dates in their system - typically clients must confirm booking interest by dates like 25th June or 25th July, after which the enquiry expires and availability is released. The venue experiences high enquiry volumes with response times of 1-2 days, so early confirmation is essential to secure preferred dates.
What accessibility features are available for business events?
The venue is fully accessible, though the 3rd floor (where Bevan Suite and Harvey room are located) requires use of a wheelchair lift once on the floor. The wheelchair lift has weight limitations that may not accommodate some electric wheelchairs, so advance notice of wheelchair users is required. Ground floor rooms like Tudor Hart and Anderson avoid lift requirements.
What are the typical event timings and access arrangements for business meetings?
Standard business meeting hire runs 9am-5pm with 8am access available for setup. Half-day hire options are available (like Bevan Suite at £1,650+VAT for half-day). Events can extend beyond standard hours - the Garden closes at 22:00 but Garden room continues until 23:00. Some spaces have restrictions like Garden/Garden room only available 6:30pm-11pm for certain event sizes.
Are there any restrictions on event setup time or vendor access?
Setup access varies by event type and space availability. Some events get access from 4pm for dinner setups, while others receive 8am access for full-day conferences. Large LED screen installations requiring 5-6 hours setup time may need special arrangements. The venue cannot accommodate requests for half-day setup in certain rooms when other events are scheduled.
What hybrid and recording capabilities are available for business events?
BMA House offers hybrid event packages starting from £1,700+VAT depending on requirements and complexity. Basic filming packages start from £900+VAT. The venue has invested in hybrid equipment and positions itself as a leading London hybrid venue. Recording is available either through venue services or approved external suppliers, with comfort screens and monitoring systems available in main conference spaces.
