What are the pricing options for smaller spaces like the Lecture Room?

What audio-visual equipment is included in the spaces?

Yes, there appears to be a minimum spending threshold for theatre bookings. Events with spending deemed "too low" for the 270-seat theatre space will be declined.

What are the availability patterns and booking lead times?

The venue has limited availability, particularly for weekends and popular dates. Many enquiries are declined due to unavailability, and alternative dates are often suggested weeks earlier than requested dates.

Are there restrictions on event types or guest numbers?

The theatre is the only space suitable for events requiring 250+ people. Smaller events may be accommodated in other rooms, but there are spending requirements that must be met for theatre bookings.

What is the booking process and who should I contact?

Contact Adrian Locher, Programme Director, at 07980030983 or adrian@marylebonetheatre.com. Lorna Dempsey is the theatre and venue manager who may also handle enquiries when available.

Are there special rates available for certain organizations?

Yes, registered charities can receive discounted rates. For example, charity organizations can get the Lecture Room for 2 hours at £100 + VAT instead of the standard £100 per hour rate.

What are the typical event time restrictions?

The theatre is available until 5pm for day events. Evening events in other spaces can run later, with some enquiries mentioning times like 5:30-9:30pm, though availability varies significantly.
