What are the booking restrictions and advance notice requirements?
The venue only accepts bookings until the end of March 2026 due to planned renovations in the new financial year. Bookings are not accepted for the first few months of the new financial year until renovation dates are finalized. Specific dates may already be booked, so early enquiry is recommended.

Day events typically run from 9:00am-5:30pm, while evening events can extend until 1:00am. The Day Delegate Rate includes room access from 9am-5:30pm. Setup access and specific timing arrangements should be confirmed when booking, as these may vary depending on the event requirements.
What catering options are available and what are the minimum requirements?
Catering options include Day Delegate Rate packages, bowl food buffets (£40 plus VAT per person for 3 bowls), canapés (£24 plus VAT per person for 6 pieces), and drinks packages (unlimited wine, beer, and soft drinks at £27 plus VAT per person). Hot food service requires a minimum of 40 people, while sandwich options are available for smaller groups.
Are there any restrictions on event types or activities that can be held at the venue?
The venue is suitable for conferences, presentations, meetings, AGMs, corporate training, networking events, and business dinners.

How far in advance should I book and what is the enquiry process?
Early booking is recommended as popular dates fill up quickly and the venue has limited availability beyond March 2026. Initial enquiries should include your preferred date, guest numbers, event format (theatre, reception, etc.), timing requirements, and catering preferences to receive an accurate quote. The venue will check availability and provide detailed pricing based on your specific requirements.
