What additional fees should I budget for beyond room hire and catering?

Security services may be required at £480 + VAT (£400 + VAT in some quotes). Additional fees may apply depending on caterer requirements, and there may be small additional charges for specific catering setups.

How far in advance can I book and what is the tentative hold process?

The venue can accommodate bookings well in advance, including dates in 2026. Tentative holds can be placed on available dates while you finalize details, and the sales team will follow up to confirm your booking intentions.

What day-of-week availability restrictions exist?

Availability varies significantly by day of the week. For example, in November there may be limited Thursday availability with more options on Wednesdays and Fridays. Some weeks may have no availability at all.
