What are the hourly rates and minimum booking requirements for the Business space?

The Conference & Events package is £445 per hour, which includes standard AV equipment, one technician, and two staff members to facilitate the event. All bookings must include setup and pack down time - minimum 30 minutes setup and 15-30 minutes pack down, making the practical minimum booking around 1.5-2 hours total.

What days of the week is King's House available for hire?

King's House is only available for hire Thursday through Saturday. The venue is not available Monday through Wednesday for private events.

What additional mandatory costs should I budget for beyond the hourly rate?

You must budget for a £150 post-event cleaning charge and a refundable security surcharge (amount not specified in communications). Tea and coffee service is available at £2 per person if required.

What are the capacity limits and room options for smaller business events?

The Business space includes the Fleet Room (ex-dance studio with natural light), Luciana Room, and Saint Rooms, all priced the same. The main Upper Room has a 200-person theatre capacity maximum, but specific capacities for the smaller Business rooms are not detailed in available information.

What AV equipment and technical support is included in the standard package?

The standard package includes one technician, basic AV equipment, and 65" plasma screen TVs. The Fleet Room specifically has a 65" TV on the wall, and all rooms have dimmable lighting and are fully accessible.

What are the restrictions regarding food and catering at the venue?

King's House is a completely nut-free venue, which must be communicated to any caterers. The venue operates on a dry-hire basis but can provide recommended caterers, and clients can arrange their own external catering delivery.

What is the payment schedule and invoice timeline for bookings?

Full payment is typically due by the standard deadline (appears to be around 2-3 weeks before the event), though payment plans can be arranged with a deposit followed by the balance plus security surcharge. Invoices can be issued immediately upon booking confirmation.

How far in advance do I need to provide presentation materials and technical requirements?

Presentation slides, logos, and AV files must be submitted by midday the day before your event via WeTransfer to the specified email address. A detailed schedule with technical requirements must also be completed by midday two days before the event.

What setup options and furniture are available for business meetings and workshops?

Chairs and tables are provided free of charge, and rooms can be configured as needed. The Fleet Room offers a blank canvas design approach, while the Luciana and Saint Rooms provide warm, stylish meeting room settings suitable for dining and smaller meetings.

Can I receive items delivered to the venue before my event?

Yes, items can be delivered to the venue in advance of your event. Deliveries should typically arrive the day before your event, and you should coordinate timing with the venue management team.
