Frequently asked questions

The Grand is Olympia's premium hall with a capacity of up to 7,000 people. This is a dry-hire space, meaning you'll need to arrange all furniture, production, A/V, and staging separately. Specific pricing was not disclosed in available communications, but enquiries suggest budgets significantly higher than £3,000 would be required for this premium space.

Dry hire means the venue provides only the empty space - no furniture, staging, A/V equipment, or production is included. You must factor in costs for all furniture, production equipment, A/V systems, staging, and any other event requirements into your budget. These additional costs can be substantial and should be planned for from the outset.

Olympia requires significant advance notice for bookings. Enquiries with short lead times are typically declined as 'too short lead for us to be able to accommodate.' Plan to book well in advance, particularly for premium spaces like The Grand hall.

The National Hall costs approximately £45,000 + VAT per day. Availability varies by date, and the venue may suggest alternative dates if your preferred date is unavailable. For example, November dates might be offered if December dates are not available.

Olympia offers multiple halls including The Grand (premium hall, capacity 7,000), the National Hall (£45k + VAT per day), and West Hall Level One (3,265 sqm with minimum 75% usage requirement of 2,500 sqm). Each space has different capacities, pricing, and suitability for different event types.

West Hall Level One offers 3,265 sqm of total space, but requires a minimum commitment of 75% usage, which equals 2,500 sqm of space. This ensures adequate space utilization while providing flexibility for your event layout and design requirements.

Initial enquiries receive an automated acknowledgment stating 'Our team will now review the details and get back to you in due course.' Response times vary depending on the complexity of your enquiry and availability. For urgent bookings, expect that short lead times may result in declined enquiries.
