Frequently asked questions
What are the payment terms and timeline for booking the Film and Photo space?
Payment is required in two installments: 50% due upon signing the contract and the remaining 50% due 30 days before your event. All catering costs for food and beverages must be pre-ordered and settled before the event to cover staffing costs.

External catering requires a £3,000 kitchen buyout fee. The venue strongly prefers to use their in-house catering team, Blue Strawberry, which handles all food and beverage requirements including staffing.

The Chairman's Room (22 capacity) is priced at £200 per hour plus VAT. The Court of Quarter is priced at £150 per hour plus VAT. Meeting room bookings can be made through the Knotel app at app.knotel.com.
