The Bloomsbury Ballroom operates with minimum food and beverage spends that vary by day: Monday £12,000 + VAT, Tuesday £12,500-£14,000 + VAT, Wednesday £15,000 + VAT, Thursday £18,000-£20,000 + VAT, Friday £21,000 dry hire (plus F&B costs), and Saturday £35,000 + VAT. These rates reflect that the venue runs The London Cabaret Club shows on Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings.

The Ballroom can accommodate up to 300 guests for banqueting/seated dining style events. For standing receptions, the space can hold up to 500 guests, while cabaret-style seating allows for 240-350 guests depending on the specific layout requirements.

Beyond the minimum F&B spend, you must pay venue hire charges of £5,000-£6,000 + VAT which includes AV technician, security, cloakroom, and furniture for up to 6 hours. An AV technician costs £500 + VAT if needed in the Rose Bar, and late finishes until 2AM incur an additional £1,500 + VAT charge.

Three-course meals start from £64 + VAT per person, with packages from £110 + VAT including welcome bubbly, three courses, half bottle of wine and water per person. Traditional finger buffet lunch menus start from £26.90 + VAT per person, and canape menus begin at £15 + VAT per person.

The Ballroom includes complimentary in-house AV equipment worth £2,500 + VAT, featuring 6 projector walls, microphones, remote clicker, stage, multiple light settings, uplighters, and sound system. A DJ can be provided for £450 + VAT, with entertainment options ranging from £2,400 + VAT to £10,000 + VAT for full shows.

The venue operates a one-week holding policy - if they don't hear from you within a week of an enquiry, they will release the space assuming you no longer require it. Spaces are not automatically held during the enquiry process, so prompt responses are essential to secure your preferred date.

Friday and Saturday events require cancelling The London Cabaret Club shows, resulting in significantly higher costs. Friday dry hire is £21,000 + VAT, while Saturday minimum spend is £35,000 + VAT. The venue actively encourages clients to consider Sunday through Wednesday for better pricing and availability.

Silver drinks packages (house wine, beer, soft drinks) cost £29.75 + VAT per person for 1 hour, £42.50 for 2 hours, £49.95 for 3 hours, £56.50 for 4 hours, and £63.50 for 5 hours. Gold packages (including Prosecco) cost £37.75 for 1 hour and £72.50 for 4 hours. Individual bottles include Prosecco from £47 + VAT, Champagne from £70 + VAT, and wine at £35 + VAT.

The venue allows external entertainment suppliers such as casino table providers and has flexible layouts to accommodate various setups. However, specific approval processes for external suppliers are not detailed in the available information, so this should be confirmed during the booking process.

Standard access begins at 10AM, with earlier access available for £500 + VAT per day. Events typically end at midnight, with extensions possible for additional charges. Late finishes until 2AM cost an extra £1,500 + VAT, and the venue can accommodate setup the evening prior starting between 6-8PM.
