What are the exact hire costs and minimum spend requirements for The Forum?
The Forum hire costs £4,600 for 8:00-17:00 hours, with additional hours available at £500 per hour subject to availability. You must also meet a minimum food and beverage commitment of £4,950, with a 13.5% service charge applied to all food and drink orders.
What are the capacity limits for different event layouts in The Forum?
The Forum accommodates 150 guests in theatre style seating, 100 seated guests with pre-lunch reception, 120 seated lunch guests, and up to 190 standing guests. For cabaret layout, the maximum is 85 people by adding chairs to both sides of round tables, though guests may need to turn chairs to face speakers.
What AV equipment and technical facilities are included with the hire?
The Forum includes 2 projectors with screens, 5 handheld microphones, high stools for panel speakers, and background music from curated playlists. All AV requirements must be provided via preferred suppliers, and there are additional costs for any equipment beyond what's included.
When is mandatory security required and what does it cost?
Security is mandatory at £30 per hour for events with 100 guests or more. This is an additional cost on top of the venue hire and minimum spend requirements.
How long can you hold a booking and what are the payment terms?
The venue holds bookings for 5 working days as standard. Some flexibility exists for longer holds with notes added to alert you if other enquiries come in, but this isn't guaranteed during busy periods like December.
What additional services and amenities are included in the hire fee?
The hire fee includes pre-event planning with the in-house team, full staffing throughout your event, cloakroom facility, professional bar facility, printed menus and place cards, and background music from curated playlists.
Are there restrictions on outside suppliers or entertainment?
All AV requirements must be provided via preferred suppliers. The venue allows DJs and entertainment, but specific policies on outside suppliers aren't detailed in available information - this should be confirmed directly with the events team.
What are the booking deadlines and guest number requirements?
Final guest numbers are required 10 working days ahead of the event. You can book for fewer guests initially and increase numbers later, as costs are based on minimum spend rather than guest count.
Can The Forum be combined with other spaces for larger events?
Yes, The Forum can be combined with other spaces like The Pergola for drinks receptions. For example, hiring The Pergola for evening drinks costs an additional £1,500 with its own minimum spend requirements.
What catering philosophy and dietary requirements does the venue accommodate?
The Conduit's food and drink philosophy is based on seasonality and sustainability, sourcing ingredients from suppliers who share their ethos of combining quality with responsible practices. The culinary team crafts menus with fresh and vibrant flavours, though specific dietary accommodation details aren't specified.
