For short lead bookings, confirmation is required by end of play the following day with full pre-payment required by close of play within a specified timeframe (typically around 2 weeks before the event). Standard booking terms may vary for longer lead times.

Yes, there are additional charges applied for event filming or event livestreaming beyond the standard AV technician included with theatre hire. The venue requires advance notice of any filming or streaming requirements to provide accurate pricing.

Standard day hire runs from 08:30-17:00, while half-day rates typically cover 13:00-17:00. The venue can accommodate adjusted timings such as 15:30-18:30 for specific requirements, though this may affect pricing and minimum spend requirements.

In certain circumstances, such as short lead bookings or events requiring only basic refreshments (tea, coffee, light snacks), the venue may waive the standard £20.00+VAT per person minimum catering spend and allow tea/coffee only arrangements.

Exhibition access depends on timing and current displays. The Quantum Untangled exhibition opens October 8th with free admission for visitors. During preparation periods between exhibitions, there may be no displays available, but this can be discussed when booking.
