Weddings are exclusively hosted on Saturdays and Sundays only. The venue has a minimum of 100 guests for weddings with venue hire (excluding catering) at £13,800. Maximum capacity for wedding dinner dance is 220 guests. Weekday wedding requests are not available.
What is included in the room hire and what are additional AV costs?

How does the booking and viewing process work?
Show round appointments are available Monday-Friday 9:30am-17:00pm, though the building is currently under refurbishment so site visits are limited. The venue offers provisional holds on dates and requires confirmation to secure bookings. Same-day viewing requests are typically not accommodated.
What are the catering minimums and non-alcoholic options?
There is no minimum spend for dinner packages beyond the per-person rate. For events without alcohol, the venue can provide dinner in just the Council Room without needing the Stephenson Room for pre-drinks. Non-alcoholic drinks are charged on consumption basis, and half-day sessions require minimum tea, coffee and biscuits as catering.
What rooms are interconnected and how does this affect event flow?
The Council Room and Stephenson Room are interconnected, allowing numbers above 30 to mingle between both rooms, though this layout is only recommended for maximum 50 guests. The Smeaton Room connects to the Brunel Room, providing flexibility for drinks reception before dinner. Pre-dinner drinks typically take place in the smaller room before moving to the main dining space.
