Orchard Room at Springfield - The Glass House

Venue hire pricing varies by date and time, with specific rates available through their pricing links for occasions and private hire. The venue fee includes complimentary use of furniture. Security is mandatory for most bookings, with additional staff and hire items available at extra cost.

The Orchard Room can accommodate up to 150 guests for business events. The hire includes complimentary use of furniture and exclusive access to a private courtyard. The space features retractable skylights that can be operated at the press of a button.

The venue operates as 'dry hire' only, meaning all food and beverages must be provided through their accredited caterers. If you prefer to bring an external caterer, there's a £535-£550 + VAT accreditation fee (pricing mentioned varies between sources). External caterers must provide food safety certificates, risk assessments, PAT test certificates, and public liability insurance.

The venue has prep kitchens only, so caterers must bring all equipment needed for service. The kitchens are not fully equipped for cooking, requiring external caterers to come prepared with their own serving equipment and heating facilities.

Security is mandatory for most bookings at The Glass House. The exact costs and requirements for security staff are detailed in their extras pricing list, which is referenced but specific rates are not provided in the available information.
