Frequently asked questions
What are the exact pricing rates for the smaller studio space?
The smaller studio (Studio Two) costs £400 for a full day (9am-5:30pm). For partial day bookings, the venue charges £110 per hour, £500 for a six-hour booking, or £800 for an eight-hour booking. The space accommodates 50 people for general events or 20 people with yoga mats.
What are the capacity limits and dimensions of the available spaces?
The smaller studio accommodates 50 people (or 20 with yoga mats) and is 70 sq m with 3m high ceilings. The main hall accommodates 90-95 people and offers 95 sq m of floor space with 6m high ceilings. Both spaces are on the ground floor with step-free access throughout the building.
What are the standard operating hours and earliest access times?
The earliest access time is 9:30am due to yoga classes running until then. Events typically run from 9am-5:30pm for full days, though extended hours until 11pm are available for £600 per day. Setup access before 9:30am is not available due to existing yoga classes.
What equipment and furniture is included in the hire?
Tables, chairs, projector, and basic AV equipment (speakers) are included at no extra cost. A whiteboard is also available if needed. This is a dry hire venue, meaning you are responsible for setting up and packing down all equipment and furniture yourself.
What is the payment process and when must invoices be paid?
Invoices must be paid on receipt to secure your booking. The venue can split payments into two separate invoices if requested, but the first payment must be made to secure the booking. Payment can be made via QuickBooks online payment system, and bookings are only complete once full payment is received.
Can outside catering be brought in and are there kitchen facilities?
Yes, outside catering is permitted for food. The venue has a fully fitted kitchen available. There is also an on-site specialty coffee shop run by separate management that you would need to speak to directly on the day for any arrangements.
Are there any restrictions on event types or activities?
The venue accommodates various event types including workshops, corporate events, exhibitions, and presentations. Dancing and DJ events are allowed. For art exhibitions, lightweight artwork can be hung on walls provided it doesn't damage them. All areas are wheelchair accessible.
What are the booking hold and confirmation procedures?
The venue can pencil in bookings temporarily while you confirm details, but payment is required to secure the booking permanently. If you need to hold a date, you must specify when payment will be made, and the venue will add a note to their system. Bookings are only considered complete once the invoice is paid.
Are there toilet facilities and accessibility features?
Yes, there are plenty of modern toilet facilities throughout the building. The entire venue is wheelchair accessible with step-free access throughout, including all entrances and restrooms. The building was purpose-built in 2012 with accessibility in mind.
What are the cancellation and date change policies?
The venue can accommodate date changes if availability permits, as shown when they moved a booking from 9:30am start time to 9am on different dates. However, specific cancellation policies and fees are not detailed in the available information - this would need to be confirmed directly with the venue.
