Frequently asked questions
What are the venue closure periods I need to be aware of when planning my event?
Lincoln's Inn is closed for the entire month of August and during Easter from 17th April at 15:00, reopening on 28th April. These closure periods are fixed and no events can be accommodated during these times.
What are the capacity limits for different event spaces and guest numbers?
The Old Hall accommodates up to 120 guests for seated dinners and dates back to 1490. For events requiring 120+ guests, you must use the Old Hall/Crypt combination. The Great Hall can accommodate larger numbers, and there's a minimum requirement of 30 guests for meeting spaces.
What are the standard event timings and access restrictions?
Conference events typically run from 08:00-17:00 with all guests departed by 17:30. Some events can accommodate until 16:00 with departure by 16:30. Evening events generally have access from 16:00-17:30 for setup, with events ending by 22:30-23:00 and complete departure required.
What are the pricing structures for different types of events?
Day Delegate Rates start from £91.00 + VAT per person (minimum 140 guests) or £104.00 + VAT for enhanced packages. Christmas packages are £176 + VAT per person (minimum 90 guests). Room hire for spaces like the Great Hall and lawn costs £7,350 + VAT for 5-hour periods, with dry hire options like the Old Hall at £6,600 + VAT.
What are the mandatory minimum food and beverage spend requirements?
Most events have mandatory minimum food and beverage spends. Examples include £13,950 + VAT for certain room combinations, £18,600 + VAT for Great Hall events, and £7,310 + VAT for Old Hall dinners. These are in addition to room hire costs.
What catering restrictions apply to events at Lincoln's Inn?
All catering must be provided in-house - outside food is strictly prohibited and cannot be brought into the venue. The venue offers various catering packages including day delegate rates, Christmas packages, and bespoke menus, with seasonal menu updates typically confirmed later in the year.
What day-of-week availability restrictions should I know about?
Availability varies significantly by day of the week. For example, November typically has limited Thursday availability, with more options on Wednesdays and Fridays. Some periods show no availability for entire weeks, so flexibility with dates is important for securing your preferred space.
What types of events are not suitable for Lincoln's Inn?
The venue is not suitable for sixth form proms and has declined certain event types. Some conference requests cannot be accommodated due to space limitations, and events requiring late-night access or specific technical requirements may not be feasible depending on the space and timing requested.
What additional services and fees might apply to my event?
Security services are mandatory for certain events at £480 + VAT. Event extensions with bar service until midnight cost an additional £960 + VAT. Depending on your caterer's requirements, additional small fees may apply for external suppliers, and AV technician services are included in day delegate packages.
How far in advance should I book and what is the booking process?
The venue can offer tentative holds on available dates while you make decisions. Bespoke proposals are provided with sample menus, and seasonal menu selections (like Autumn 2025) are typically confirmed later in the year. Site visits can be arranged, and the sales team follows up regularly on pending enquiries.
