Venue hire fees range from £8,250-£28,750 + VAT depending on date, timing, and access requirements. The base price includes exclusive access to the whole venue, track lighting throughout, 16KW sound system, wireless mics, and a 3x2m customisable LED screen in the lobby. All quotes are bespoke and rates can be reduced from the £15,000-£75,000 rack rates depending on your event timing and requirements.

Mandatory costs include: cleaning fee £200 + VAT, security at £25 + VAT per person per hour (minimum 2 guards for setup/derig, 4 guards when live), and external supplier fee £500 + VAT if using non-approved vendors. Food and beverage is arranged separately through approved suppliers as this is a dry hire venue.

The venue accommodates up to 420 guests for standing receptions across both floors. For dining events, the ground floor gallery holds 100 seated for dinner or 120 theatre-style, while the lower gallery accommodates 50 seated for dinner or 70 theatre-style. The venue spans 6,000 sq ft across two floors that can operate independently.

The venue operates as a gallery daily from 10:00-19:00, so evening events typically have front-of-house access from 18:00-20:00, with back-of-house access available earlier (15:00-19:00) for setup. Full day hires are available with access from 06:00-01:00, and rates are more flexible for later front-of-house access times.

All quotes are bespoke and created case-by-case based on your specific dates, timings, and requirements. The venue uses a pencil booking system (2nd pencil, 5th pencil availability mentioned) and quotes are subject to increased demand, particularly for Christmas dates. Contact the events team with your desired dates and event details for a customised proposal.

As a dry hire venue, all catering is provided by approved external suppliers and charged separately. The venue has 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. The venue features two onsite kitchens to support catering operations.

Included equipment features a 16KW sound system (ideal for background music), wireless microphones, 3x2m customisable LED screen in the lobby, and track lighting throughout. For additional AV needs, the venue provides a list of recommended production suppliers, though external supplier fees of £500 + VAT apply for non-approved vendors.

The venue can transform into a blank canvas for production-heavy events, with artwork removal available when needed (fees vary by event). As an active art gallery, some dates may be unavailable due to exhibitions in later stages. The venue is closed for Christmas holidays (dates like 28th-29th December mentioned as unavailable).

The venue uniquely combines contemporary art exhibitions with fine dining, operating as a gallery by day and private event space by night with a revolving background of contemporary art year-round. The post-industrial architecture with premium finish creates an impressive setting in the heart of Mayfair, perfect for top-tier private dinners and experiences.

December dates have increased demand and higher pricing, with limited availability (only 4 dates mentioned: 4th, 11th, 12th, 13th December). The venue offers more versatile packages and flexible pricing during select months. Christmas period closures affect availability, and 2025 will introduce increased access during certain months with more flexible pricing structures.
