Frequently asked questions

The rack rate is £8,000 + VAT per day for The Stables. For longer-term hires, rates can be reduced - for example, a 2-day hire was quoted at £14,400 + VAT (reduced from £16,000). Multi-day bookings typically receive discounted pricing.

Security is mandatory at £25-30 per person per hour (1 guard required for setup/breakdown, 2-4 guards when live). A cleaning fee of £150-180 + VAT applies to all bookings. If using external suppliers not on the approved list, an external supplier fee of £500-600 + VAT is charged.

The Stables has a strict 10pm cut-off time due to lease restrictions, with no loud activities or receptions permitted after 21:00 (9pm). No loud music is allowed at all after 21:00, and volume must not disturb neighboring residents and businesses throughout the event.

The venue holds approximately 300-315 guests standing before production. The total space is 4,500 sq ft over two floors with an outside courtyard. Capacity may be reduced depending on production requirements, furniture, and event setup.

The venue includes Sonos speakers suitable for background music and track lighting throughout. For events requiring DJs or presentations, you must bring in a separate PA system. Tables, seating, and specialized AV equipment are not provided as this is a dry hire venue.

Artwork removal is possible but costs £3,000-6,000 + VAT depending on the pieces. More cost-effective solutions include using drapery to cover artwork or creating prefabricated structures to sit on top of the existing displays.

The venue offers vehicle access and direct loading options through the outside courtyard with delivery access. There are two entrances on different streets (Earlham Street and Shelton Street) providing excellent access for equipment and setup.

No, you cannot hire just a single floor as the venue cannot host two events simultaneously on both floors. The entire venue must be booked, though this only affects security requirements rather than the base venue hire cost.

The venue cannot apply for late licenses due to lease restrictions. The 10pm cut-off time is non-negotiable and features as part of their lease agreement. Sound restrictions are also fixed and cannot be modified.
