Frequently asked questions
What catering options are available and who provides the food service?
All catering is provided exclusively by Searcys, the in-house catering partner. They offer bespoke menu design including South Asian inspired catering and halal options. A minimum evening spend of £1,050 + VAT applies for dinner events during weekdays, the minimum spend is £3,000 + VAT during weekends and bank holidays.
What room combinations work best for private dining events with reception space?
For events requiring both dining and reception areas, popular combinations include the Council Room and Barnard Room (Council Room seats up to 70 for dinner, Barnard Room for pre/post dinner drinks), or the Beatrice Webb Room with Gallery and Music Room for larger groups up to 90 seated guests.
What are the standard event timings and access arrangements?
The Music Room can be hired from 8am until 5pm (daytime) with access for the organiser from 8am or 6pm until 10pm (evening) with access for the organiser from 5:15pm. Weekend hire starts from £4,000 VAT exempt and typically includes 2 rooms for up to 6 hours. Extension is possible, this will incur a fee of £525 vat exempt per hours.
What is the maximum capacity for seated dining in the Music Room?
The Music Room can accommodate round table dining for a maximum of 40-50 people. For larger groups wanting dinner and drinks, you must book additional rooms as the Music Room alone cannot handle both dining and reception space for events over this capacity.
Can I use my own suppliers for audio visual, floristry, or other services?
You must use suppliers from the venue's detailed list of Approved Suppliers for Audio Visual, Production, and Floristry, plus their Recommended suppliers list. Use of any third-party suppliers outside this list must be agreed in writing by the venue before booking.
Are there any seasonal discounts or special offers available?
Yes, the venue offers seasonal promotions such as a £1,000 discount on venue hire for weddings taking place in October or November. They also offer last-minute booking discounts, such as 20% off venue hire for bookings made close to the event date.
What deposit and payment terms are required to secure a booking?
Upon receipt of the signed hire agreement, you'll receive a 50% deposit invoice. You must wait to receive this invoice before making payment as you'll need to quote the invoice number. Full contact details including signatory information and finance contact details are required before contracts can be drawn up.
Are there restrictions on event timing or days of the week?
December is an extremely busy period with all bookings operating on a first-to-confirm basis. Weekend hire rates are significantly higher than weekday rates. The venue staff work flexible hours and may not be available to reply between 9am-5pm, with urgent enquiries directed to call 0207 969 5224.
What happens if my preferred date is not available?
If your preferred date is fully booked, the venue will send an email stating they will find you an alternative venue. They maintain availability calendars and can suggest alternative dates, but popular periods like December require early booking and immediate confirmation.
