What is the hire fee for Coopers Studio and what's included in the base price?

The hire fee for Coopers Studio is £1,050 + VAT for 08:00-17:00. This includes an Event Manager, Duty Manager, Technician for in-house equipment, and basic staffing for fire marshalling. Additional fees apply for extra staffing, technical requirements, and catering beyond what's included.

What are the capacity limits for different event setups in Coopers Studio?

Coopers Studio can accommodate 60 people maximum, with specific configurations of 108 for dinner or 130 theatre-style. The space can be combined with the Beanfeast room for larger events requiring more than one space.

What are the vehicle access restrictions and setup times?

Vehicle access is only allowed on site between 8am-11pm. If you need additional time for setup or de-rig the day before or after your event, you must arrange this in advance as it falls outside the standard vehicle access window.

What catering options are available and what are the associated costs?

Woolwich Works has five handpicked caterers: Clement Worrall, KERB, Palette, Social Pantry, and The Clink Events, plus a simple internal catering menu. If using your own caterer, there's a £500 + VAT admin fee to set them up on the system, plus a 10% charge on their final invoice.

What AV equipment is included and what are the costs for additional technical requirements?

A PA system and 2 microphones are included in the hire fee. Additional technical resources beyond this basic setup incur extra fees, and for requirements exceeding in-house capabilities, they recommend their external AV team White Light.

What furniture is provided and are there restrictions on availability?

In-house furniture is included with the hire, subject to availability. You can view available furniture options on their website, but availability depends on what's not already booked for other events during your hire period.

How far in advance do I need to book and what affects availability?

Availability depends on the size of your event and lead time required. Larger events or those requiring significant setup may need more advance booking, and certain dates may not be available due to capacity constraints or existing bookings.

Can I use external suppliers and what are the associated fees?

You can use your own caterer for a £500 + VAT admin fee plus 10% commission on their final invoice. External AV suppliers also incur a £500 + VAT admin fee plus 10% commission, though specific AV commission details weren't explicitly confirmed in available information.

What unique features does Coopers Studio offer for private events?

The space features original exposed brick walls, natural light from sash windows overlooking the outdoor courtyard, and a private entrance from the riverside for guests arriving by boat. It can be combined with the Beanfeast room for events requiring multiple spaces.

Are there any restrictions on event types or timing that I should be aware of?

While specific restrictions weren't detailed in available information, the venue operates with standard vehicle access hours (8am-11pm) and may have limitations on certain dates based on capacity and lead time requirements. Event-specific restrictions would need to be confirmed directly with the venue.
