Maximum seated capacity for ceremony and dinner is 100 guests in the Beatrice Webb Room. The Reading Room holds up to 70 guests for standing receptions, while the Music Room alone is too small for dinner and drinks for 50+ guests and requires booking an additional room.

The venue maintains detailed lists of Approved Suppliers for Audio Visual, Production, and Floristry, plus Recommended suppliers. Use of any third-party suppliers outside these lists must be agreed in writing by the venue before booking. This applies to all external vendors including photographers, entertainers, and decorators.

Upon signing the hire agreement, a 50% deposit invoice is generated and must be paid before booking confirmation. You must wait to receive the official invoice before making payment as you'll need to quote the invoice number. Any required PO numbers must be provided before the deposit invoice is generated to avoid confirmation delays.

The Festive Dinner & DJ package costs £145 + VAT per person (minimum 55 guests) and includes sparkling wine, 3-course dinner, wine, DJ, and venue decorations. December bookings operate on a first-to-confirm basis due to high demand. A dancefloor is mandatory for carpeted rooms at an additional £795 + VAT.

Standard access for organisers begins 15 minutes before the hire period (e.g., 5:15pm for 6pm events). Supplier setup access is typically from 12pm for afternoon/evening events, or 8:15am for morning events. Earlier access may be available but requires advance arrangement and potential additional charges.
