When is the mandatory technical rehearsal and what does it involve?

Technical rehearsals are mandatory and offered for one hour between 10:30am-11:30am on weekdays. You must bring the laptop being used on event day and confirm the rehearsal at least two weeks ahead as they get very booked up.

What are the bar hire costs and capacity limits?

Exclusive bar hire costs £300 + VAT per hour for up to 250 people standing. For a smaller area accommodating up to 100 people standing, the cost is £150 + VAT per hour.

How does the drinks pricing work and what's the minimum spend?

Drinks work on a maximum tab limit system with self-service house wine, prosecco, beers and soft drinks at £6 per person per drink. Cocktails, G&Ts and hard seltzer cans require pre-ordering. All drink orders must be placed 2 weeks ahead of the event.

What are the different time slot options and pricing structures?

Weekend slots are fixed at 12-3pm, 3-6pm, 6-9pm, or 8:30-11:30pm. Weekday evening slots are 5:30-8:30pm or 8:30-11:30pm. Pre-6pm weekday hire for 5 hours costs £3,000 + VAT for Screen 1. If you need multiple slots, pricing doubles.

What catering options are available and what are the ordering deadlines?

In-house options include tea/coffee receptions, breakfast items, pizzas and light bites. External caterers can provide full catering services. All food and drink orders must be confirmed 2 weeks ahead of your event to ensure staffing and stock availability - orders cannot be guaranteed after this deadline.

What branding and marketing support is included?

A branding package is offered alongside all events which includes use of the canopy or readograph, plus takeover of all quad posters and digital screens throughout the venue.

Are there any availability restrictions or booking limitations?

The venue gets very booked up, particularly for technical rehearsals and popular dates. Some time slots may not be available on certain dates (for example, later evening slots may be unavailable due to regular cinema programming). Bookings are currently being taken from July 18th onwards.
