Payment can be made by BACS transfer, over the phone, or via payment link, with AMEX payments incurring an additional 5% charge.

Contracts must be signed promptly to secure dates, with some requiring signature within specific timeframes (such as by Friday 1st August for certain bookings). The venue operates on a first-come-first-served basis, and dates remain available to other clients until contracted.
