Frequently Asked Questions
What is the hire fee for the Other space and what's included?
The hire fee for the Other space is £9,350 + VAT for an 8am-5pm hire period. This includes an event manager, duty manager, technician for in-house equipment, basic fire marshalling staffing, workers bar and back of house spaces, and power. The space features seated banks and is fully accessible throughout the building.
What are the vehicle access restrictions for loading and setup?
Vehicle access is only permitted on site between 8am-11pm daily. If you need additional time for setup or de-rig outside these hours, you must arrange this in advance. The space includes a loading dock for equipment delivery.
Can I use my own caterer and what are the associated costs?
You can use your own caterer, but there's a £500 + VAT admin fee to set them up on the venue's system. Additionally, the venue charges 10% commission on the caterer's final invoice. Alternatively, you can choose from five approved caterers or use the venue's simple internal catering menu.
What AV equipment is included and what are the costs for additional technical support?
A PA system and 2 microphones are included with the hire. Additional technical resources beyond this basic setup will incur extra fees. If your requirements exceed what's available in-house, the venue recommends their external AV team White Light, though using your own AV supplier incurs a £500 + VAT admin fee plus 10% commission.
What furniture is available and can I bring my own?
In-house furniture is included with the hire, subject to availability. The venue has seated banks in the space and various other furniture options. You can view available furniture on their website, and additional furniture hire may be required for items not available on-site.
What security and staffing options are available?
Basic fire marshalling staffing is included in the hire fee. Additional security/hosts are available at £35 per hour for 2 staff members, with a minimum 5-hour call per staff member (10 hours total minimum). An additional technician can be hired for £310 + VAT per day if needed beyond the included support.
Does the venue offer any outdoor space with the Other space hire?
The venue features a beautiful, sunny courtyard that can be included with certain hires. The courtyard opens directly from some spaces to create an indoor/outdoor feel for larger events, though specific availability with the Other space would need to be confirmed.
What are the booking lead times and availability restrictions?
The venue requires adequate lead time for events, particularly for larger gatherings. Based on correspondence, they may not accommodate events with short lead times or during peak periods. It's recommended to book well in advance, especially for weekend dates or popular times of year.
