Frequently asked questions
What are the venue hire costs and what's included in the base price?
Venue hire ranges from £8,250-£28,750 + VAT depending on date, timing, and duration. The base price includes exclusive access to the whole venue, 16KW sound system, 3x2m customisable LED screen in the lobby, and track lighting throughout. Additional mandatory costs include cleaning fee (£200 + VAT), security (£25 + VAT per person per hour with 2 required for setup/derig and 4 when live), and external supplier fee (£500 + VAT if using outside vendors).
What are the capacity limits for dining events?
The ground floor gallery accommodates 100 for dinner and the lower gallery seats 50 for dinner. The venue spans 6,000 sq ft across two floors and can accommodate up to 420 guests total for standing events, but dining capacity is significantly lower due to table setup requirements.
What are the access times and scheduling restrictions?
The venue operates as an art gallery daily from 10:00-19:00, so evening events typically have front-of-house access from 18:00-20:00 with live events from 19:00-00:00. Back-of-house access for setup can begin earlier at 15:00. Events must end by 01:00 with derig completed by then, and the venue is closed during Christmas holidays (late December).
Is catering provided or do I need to arrange external suppliers?
3 Hanover Square is a dry hire venue, meaning all catering must be arranged through external suppliers. They provide a list of recommended F&B suppliers who can provide everything from bowl food and canapés to luxurious theatre dinners, custom cocktails, and open bars to suit any dietary requirements including halal options.
How far in advance do I need to book and what's the booking process?
Booking availability varies significantly by date, with popular December dates requiring early booking and often having multiple pencil holds. All quotes are bespoke and rates can be reduced from rack rates (£15,000-£25,000 + VAT) depending on demand. The venue requires confirmation of desired dates and timings before providing detailed proposals.
What audio-visual equipment is included and what are the limitations?
The venue includes a 16KW sound system (suitable for background music), wireless microphones, a 3x2m customisable LED screen in the lobby, and track lighting throughout. For more extensive AV needs, they can provide a list of recommended AV suppliers, though additional equipment would incur separate costs.
Are there restrictions on decorations, branding, or modifications to the space?
As an active art gallery, there may be artwork removal requirements depending on current exhibitions, though this is often waived (marked as N/A in quotes). The venue can be transformed into a blank canvas for production-heavy events, and external branding/modifications are possible but require approval and may incur the external supplier fee.
What are the payment terms and cancellation policies?
Specific payment terms and cancellation policies are not detailed in the available information. Given that all quotes are bespoke and the venue operates with pencil holds for popular dates, payment schedules and cancellation terms would need to be confirmed directly with the events team during the booking process.
What kitchen facilities are available for catering suppliers?
The venue has two onsite kitchens available for catering suppliers to use. Since it's a dry hire venue, external caterers would utilize these facilities to prepare and serve meals, though specific kitchen equipment details and any associated fees for kitchen use are not specified.
How does pricing vary by day of the week and time of year?
Pricing is highly variable based on demand, with December dates commanding premium rates and reduced availability. The venue offers more flexible pricing during select months and can be more accommodating on rates when front-of-house access is needed later in the evening. Rack rates range from £15,000-£25,000 + VAT but are frequently reduced based on specific circumstances.
