Room hire varies by space: Council Chamber £1,000-£1,200 + VAT, Dorchester Library £2,000-£2,700 + VAT (with reductions available for certain bookings). The venue is closed for refurbishment throughout August.
Can existing artwork be removed for filming purposes?
Yes, removal of existing artwork is permitted as part of the filming guidelines. This allows productions to customize spaces to match their creative vision without permanent fixtures interfering with shots.
What loading facilities are available for equipment?
The venue has a loading bay specifically for equipment access. This facilitates easy transport of filming equipment, lighting rigs, and other production materials directly into the building.
Are there restrictions on daytime filming availability?
Yes, daytime availability is limited. The venue manager has specifically declined daytime bookings in multiple instances, suggesting evening and night shoots are preferred or that daytime slots are heavily restricted.

How far in advance should filming bookings be made?
The venue operates on a first-option hold system where they will hold space initially, but if another enquiry comes in, you have 48 hours to confirm or your booking moves to a second-option waitlist. Early booking is recommended to secure preferred dates.
What approval process is required for event content?
The venue requires disclosure of the event topic to ensure it adheres to the values of the Royal College of Physicians. This approval process applies to all bookings and must be completed before confirmation.
Are there budget-based booking restrictions?
