When is the venue unavailable due to rehearsals and other commitments?

The venue is completely unavailable from late June through July, August, and September due to large rehearsals that occupy the entire venue. Additionally, from November 24th to December 17th, the venue hosts KIN London's Christmas Social and is not available for other bookings outside of that partnership.

What is the booking confirmation process and payment requirements?

No agreement exists until a contract and full terms & conditions are signed by both parties and all hire fees and other charges are paid in full. Any enquiry, discussion or correspondence regarding bookings should never be taken to assume confirmation.

How does the provisional booking system work?

The venue operates a tiered booking system with first, second, and third options. If you're offered a second or third option, it means other events already have provisional holds on the date, and you'll be contacted if those bookings fall through.

What furniture and equipment is included with the Business space?

Folding chairs and trestle tables are available on site free of charge. It is the hirer's responsibility to set up and clear down the space unless discussed with the venue in advance, and this time will be factored into the hire period.

What catering options are available for meetings and private events?

The venue operates primarily on a dry hire basis, so you can source external caterers of your choice. They have featured catering suppliers who have previously worked at the venue, and can also provide an in-house bar service with a separate Bar Hire Guide available.

What production and AV services can be provided?

The venue can provide full production in-house including speakers, projectors and monitors. They require specific requirements to provide a bespoke production quote, with further information available in their Production Guide.

What types of events are not permitted at the venue?

The venue cannot accommodate club nights due to the listed status of the building and the nature of their cultural programme. They also cannot host sporting events, despite historically being a boxing venue.

How does the venue handle cultural programming versus private hire?

The venue runs a fully curated cultural programme where all shows are developed in consultation with the venue. For cultural events, enquiries must go through their Cultural Programme team, and they require events to align with their programming vision.

What are the venue's cancellation and variation policies?

The Trust reserves its right, both pre and post contract, to vary or cancel hires without becoming liable for any loss, damage or inconvenience suffered by the hirer or any other person as a result of the cancellation or variance.

Are there kitchen facilities available for catering setup?

There are no permanent kitchens on site, however the Old Servery space adjoining the Assembly Hall can be used by caterers to set up the equipment they need. This arrangement would need to be discussed during the booking process.
