Room hire rates vary significantly by space and date, with examples ranging from £2,880 for smaller rooms like Victoria to £15,120 for larger spaces like Churchill. The base price includes AV package with projector, screen, sound system, microphones, technicians, security/porterage/cleaning during standard hours (08:00-18:00), visitor Wi-Fi, furniture, manned cloakroom, and dedicated event management team.

The Churchill can accommodate up to 410 theatre style for approximately £15,000 ex VAT.

Standard operating hours are 08:00-18:00, with security, porterage, and cleaning included during these times. The venue is closed during August and unavailable for bookings during this period. Events can run outside standard hours but additional costs will apply for extended security and technical support.

Bookings are offered on a '1st option basis' initially, but no booking is confirmed until a signed contract and deposit are received. The venue requires company information and budget details before providing detailed quotes. All correspondence is subject to contract until formal agreements are executed.

Each room includes comprehensive AV packages: motorised projection screens (16:9), WUXGA high-definition projectors, sound systems with multiple wired and radio microphones, induction loops, laptop PCs with sound, and dedicated technicians (08:00-17:30 with breaks). Larger rooms like Churchill include additional equipment like cue lights and talk-back headsets.

The venue is completely closed during August and cannot accommodate any events during this period. Some dates may be unavailable due to 'whole centre events' that book the entire facility. Flexibility with dates is recommended as availability can be limited on specific requested dates.

The venue offers in-house catering through 'QEII Taste by Leith's' with costs included in proposals. Catering packages can include breakfast, lunch, tea/coffee breaks, and dinner service. The venue appears to have dedicated catering spaces like Pickwick available for lunch service at no additional room hire cost.
