The venue offers three main spaces: the Livery Hall (suitable for up to 100 people based on enquiry responses), the Print Room (suitable for smaller groups of 8), and the Charter Gallery which is used as a breakout space or for catering service alongside the main rooms. The venue cannot accommodate events requiring more than 100 people as indicated by declined enquiries for larger groups.

Standard venue hire typically runs from 08:00 or 09:00 to 16:00 or 17:00 depending on the package. If you need to start earlier at 08:00 instead of the standard 09:00 start time, there is a one-off charge of £100 +VAT for early access.
