What are the room hire costs and minimum catering requirements for the Business space?
Room hire costs vary by event type and duration, typically ranging from £1,300-£3,200 plus VAT depending on the space and timing. All bookings require a minimum catering spend, which ranges from £1,500-£6,000 plus VAT depending on the room and event format. Six Park Place does not offer dry hire - catering must be provided by their in-house team.
What are the capacity limits for different event setups in the Business space?
The Business space accommodates up to 16 guests in boardroom setup, 25 guests for receptions, and 16 guests for round table dining. For larger corporate events, other spaces like Princess Alexandra Hall can accommodate up to 150 theatre style or 100 cabaret style, while Hall of India & Pakistan seats up to 120 on round tables.
What are the standard access hours and setup times?
Standard access varies by event type but typically ranges from 08:00-17:00 for day events or 18:00-23:00 for evening events. Setup time is included within your hire period, and venues must be fully vacated by the specified end time. Extended hours may be available but will incur additional charges.
What deposit and payment terms are required to secure a booking?
A signed contract and deposit of 100% of the room hire and minimum catering spend (or 100% of package price based on minimum numbers) is required within one week of confirmation. Written confirmation must include contact details for the contract, invoicing, and relevant billing address.
What audio-visual equipment is included and what are the additional costs?
Most spaces include basic AV equipment such as screen, projector, sound system, microphone, and lectern as part of the room hire. Piano hire is available for £200 plus VAT plus tuning costs. Additional AV requirements or entertainment will be charged separately and must be approved in advance by the events team.
What catering packages are available for corporate events and what do they include?
Day Delegate packages range from £85-£193 plus VAT per person (minimum 80-100 guests) and include arrival tea/coffee with pastries, morning refreshments, lunch (fork buffet or working lunch), afternoon refreshments, and room hire. Dinner packages start from £137-£140 plus VAT per person (minimum 60-70 guests) including three-course meal, wine, and room hire from 18:00-23:00.
Are there any mandatory additional charges beyond the quoted prices?
A discretionary 12.5% service charge is added to all food and beverage invoices (you can opt out by informing the events team before final invoicing). All prices quoted are plus VAT at 20%. Entertainment, decorations, and any external suppliers are charged separately and must be pre-approved.
What restrictions apply to music, entertainment, and external suppliers?
Six Park Place is home to the Royal Over-Seas League members' club, so all entertainment must be appropriate for the clubhouse environment. In the Garden, only jazz, classical, or acoustic background music is permitted. All external suppliers and entertainers must be approved in advance by the events team, and the venue has very limited kitchen facilities for external caterers.
Can events be held in the Garden space and what are the requirements?
Garden hire requires exclusive use approval from the Director General's Office and has a minimum spend of £11,500-£12,000 plus VAT including hire and catering. The Garden accommodates up to 120 guests standing and includes grill, pizza oven, lounge areas, and parasols. Access times are typically 12:00-16:00 or 18:00-22:00.
What happens if my event needs to be cancelled or dates changed?
The venue requires flexibility on dates as availability is limited. If your preferred date is unavailable, alternative dates will be offered. Specific cancellation terms are not detailed in the standard communications, but given the 100% deposit requirement, cancellation policies should be clarified during the booking process.
