Venue hire fees vary based on timing and duration, with reduced rates available. For example, a December evening event (15:00-01:00 access) costs £8,250-£9,250 + VAT (reduced from £15,000 rack rate), while daytime events can cost £13,500 + VAT (reduced from £25,000 rack rate). All quotes are bespoke and depend on your specific requirements and dates.

Mandatory costs include: cleaning fee £200 + VAT, security at £25 + VAT per person per hour (minimum 2 guards for setup/breakdown, 4 when live), and external supplier fee £500 + VAT if using non-approved vendors. Security costs can add £1,000-£2,000+ depending on event duration and requirements.

The ground floor gallery accommodates up to 100 seated for dinner, while the lower gallery seats up to 50 for dinner. The venue spans 6,000 sq ft across two floors and can operate independently, allowing for flexible dining configurations and breakout spaces for larger events.

Access times are structured with back-of-house (BOH) access typically starting 3-4 hours before front-of-house (FOH) access. For evening events, BOH access might be 15:00-18:00, FOH 18:00-19:00, with live event 19:00-00:00 and breakdown until 01:00. The venue operates as a gallery daily 10:00-19:00, so evening events offer more flexibility on rates.

The venue operates as a dry hire space and does not provide catering directly. All food and beverage must be supplied by external caterers, which is charged separately to the venue hire fee. The venue provides a list of recommended F&B suppliers who can provide everything from canapés to luxurious theatre dinners and custom cocktails.

The venue includes a 16KW sound system (ideal for background music), wireless microphones, a 3x2m customisable LED screen in the lobby, and track lighting throughout. For more extensive AV requirements, external suppliers can be arranged, though this would incur the £500 + VAT external supplier fee.

The venue is closed for Christmas holidays (dates like December 28th and 29th are unavailable). December dates are in high demand with limited availability, and the venue mentions only having four December dates available in recent communications. Peak periods may have higher rates and require earlier booking.

Artwork removal is possible and listed as 'N/A' or 'waived' in recent quotes, suggesting no additional charge for this service. The venue operates as a gallery by day with a revolving background of contemporary art, but can be configured as needed for private events.

The venue uses a pencil booking system (1st pencil, 2nd pencil, etc.) indicating multiple parties interested in dates. All quotes are bespoke and require discussion of specific requirements. Given high demand, especially for December dates, booking well in advance is recommended, and the venue requests confirmation of desired dates and timings before providing detailed proposals.

The venue can accommodate events with music and entertainment, as evidenced by their 16KW sound system and wireless microphone capabilities. However, as it's located in Mayfair, there may be noise restrictions for late-night events. The venue's track lighting and LED screen suggest it's equipped for various entertainment formats during dining events.
