Can I use my own suppliers for catering and other services?

What are the setup and event timing restrictions?

Access for setup begins at 14:00, with the earliest guest arrival at 15:00 and mandatory guest departure by 23:00. Any extension beyond 23:00 requires additional payment of £500 + VAT per hour and is subject to availability.

What makes Mail Rail different from The Postal Museum and Courtyard space?
