What is the minimum spend requirement for events at Carpenter's Hall?
There is a minimum spend of £2,000 excluding VAT on catering plus venue hire. This minimum applies to all events and makes the venue unsuitable for smaller gatherings that cannot meet this threshold.
What are the venue hire costs for different event types?
Hall hire costs £3,000 plus VAT for exclusive use. For Christmas events, venue hire ranges from £3,000-£3,500 plus VAT depending on timing, with exclusive use typically from 4:00pm-11:30pm or 6:00pm-11:30pm.
What catering packages are available and at what cost?
Christmas packages range from £115-£168 per person excluding VAT, including 3-course dinner, drinks, and venue elements. Canapes cost £25-£45 per person (4-8 pieces), with additional canapes at £8 per item. Drinks packages cost £45 per person for 3 hours unlimited wine, beer and soft drinks with a minimum of 55 guests required.
What are the capacity limits for different event setups?
The venue can accommodate up to 200 guests for seated dinners and receptions. For conferences, theatre-style seating supports up to 100 guests, while cabaret-style setup accommodates 70-75 people. The space includes multiple rooms across two floors for flexible event layouts.
What AV equipment and technical support is included?
Basic AV package includes PA system, stage, lectern, microphones, screen and projector. This is typically included with venue hire for larger events. Additional technical requirements may incur extra costs, and in-house technical support is available.
What are the standard event timing restrictions?
Most events run from 17:30/18:00 to 23:00/23:30 for evening functions. Conference and meeting timings are more flexible, typically 8:00am-17:00. Exclusive venue hire periods vary but commonly include foyer, luncheon room and courtroom access.
Are there any event type restrictions or limitations?
The venue is not suited to small events due to the £2,000 minimum catering spend requirement. The space is designed for larger corporate events, conferences, dinners and receptions rather than intimate gatherings of fewer than 50-60 people.
What additional services and fees should be budgeted for?
All prices quoted are excluding VAT (20% additional). Christmas events may include complimentary canapes if booked early. Manned cloakroom, table decorations, and entertainment can be arranged as additional services with separate pricing.
What is included in the Christmas dining packages?
Christmas packages include exclusive venue hire, 3-course dinner with tea/coffee and petit fours, drinks package (1.5 glasses sparkling wine, ½ bottle wine per person, soft drinks and water), Christmas crackers, and table linen. Prices range from £126-£168 per person excluding VAT.
How far in advance should events be booked?
Based on enquiry patterns, popular dates like December Christmas parties and conference dates fill up quickly. The venue handles multiple enquiries for similar dates, suggesting advance booking is essential, particularly for December events and prime conference periods.
