Film and Photo

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.

Can I bring my own caterer for corporate events in the Film and Photo space?

External catering is permitted but requires a £3,000 kitchen buyout fee. The venue prefers to use their in-house catering team Blue Strawberry, which may be more cost-effective for smaller events.

What accessibility features are available for the Film and Photo space?

The venue has lift access from street level that takes you directly to the space, along with accessible toilets. This provides step-free access for guests who require it.

Is security provided for evening events and what does it include?

Security is provided for evening events and includes guest check-in services and directional signage to help guests find your specific space. The security team will be briefed on your event details to ensure smooth guest management.

Can multiple events run simultaneously at the venue?

Yes, the venue can host multiple events concurrently in different spaces. For example, events may run in the Film and Photo space while other functions occur in the Great Room and Bar, with proper signage and guest direction provided to avoid confusion.

What are the typical event timing restrictions for corporate parties?

Based on venue communications, corporate events typically conclude by 9pm, though this may vary. Other events at the venue can run from 6pm to 11:30pm, so timing coordination is managed by the venue team.

How far in advance should I book the Film and Photo space?

Booking timelines vary, but the venue requires contract signing and initial payment to secure your date. Site visits can typically be arranged within a couple of weeks, and catering arrangements should be finalized well in advance of your event.

What catering options are available through the in-house team?

The in-house catering team Blue Strawberry handles all food and beverage requirements. They can provide welcome drinks, canapés, food stations, and various menu options with custom pricing based on guest numbers and specific requirements.

Are there any restrictions on decorations or setup for film and photo events?

While specific decoration restrictions aren't detailed in available information, the space features a vintage pool table, terrace access, and 70's style décor. Any setup requirements should be discussed during the booking process to ensure compatibility with the existing features.

What happens if I need to cancel or modify my booking?

Specific cancellation policies aren't detailed in the available information. Given the 50% upfront payment requirement and 30-day final payment timeline, cancellation terms should be clarified during contract negotiations.
