Frequently Asked Questions
What are the pricing packages for Christmas dining events?
Christmas packages start at £138 per person excluding VAT (£165.60 including VAT). This includes a traditional three-course festive dinner with coffee and mince pies, welcome drinks, half bottle of house wine per person, hire of Main Hall, Court Room and Stock Room from 18:00-23:30, and cash bar facilities.
What is the maximum capacity for seated dining events?
The venue can accommodate up to 200 guests for seated dining events including ceremonies and receptions. For awards ceremonies specifically, the maximum seated capacity is 200, while standing receptions can accommodate up to 330 guests.
What are the dry hire rates for exclusive venue use?
Exclusive dry hire of Stationers' Hall is £5,000 plus VAT. For Saturday ceremonies, the rate is £2,000 plus VAT for hire times from 11:00-13:00. Wedding ceremonies and receptions can run from 10:00-18:00.
What are the minimum guest requirements for different days of the week?
There is a minimum requirement of 100 guests for Thursday events. Summer packages start at £120 per person, so events with 150 people would need a budget starting from £18,000 excluding VAT.
Which spaces are included in dining event bookings?
Dining events typically include use of the Main Hall (with oak flooring, carved oak paneling from the 1600s, and stained-glass windows), Court Room (overlooking the Garden with direct access via decorative wrought iron staircase), and Stock Room. The Court Room features Rococo ornamentation and an 18th century carved mantelpiece.
What catering arrangements are required?
The venue operates with approved caterers only - you must share your preferred caterer so they can review their credentials. All catering must be arranged through accredited suppliers, and the venue does not allow external catering without prior approval.
How far in advance do I need to book for popular dates?
Popular dates book up quickly, with many December dates already unavailable. Available December 2025 dates include Tuesday 2nd, Friday 5th, Wednesday 10th, Tuesday 16th, Wednesday 17th, and Thursday 18th. It's recommended to book well in advance, especially for Christmas and summer events.
What setup time is included and what are the standard event hours?
Events requiring setup need access a few hours beforehand. Standard Christmas party timings run 18:00-23:30, while ceremony and reception events typically run 10:00-18:00. Wedding ceremonies alone can be scheduled 11:00-13:00 on Saturdays.
Is there outdoor space available for dining events?
Yes, the venue features a secluded courtyard garden that's popular for summer parties and receptions. The Court Room has direct access to the Garden via a decorative wrought iron staircase, making it ideal for events that want to incorporate both indoor and outdoor spaces.
What happens if my budget doesn't meet the venue's pricing?
The venue will decline bookings that exceed stated budgets. For example, summer packages starting at £120 per person mean a 150-person event would require a minimum budget of £18,000 excluding VAT. If your budget is below their pricing structure, they will recommend alternative venues.
