What is the capacity and pricing for the theatre space?

The theatre seats 270 people and costs £3,500 + VAT for a full day rental, which includes a technician and ushers. The venue is available until 5pm for day events.

Are there additional reception rooms available and what do they cost?

Yes, there's a main reception room upstairs that accommodates 70 people standing for £300 (with setup from 2pm). An additional spillover room across the way fits another 30 people for £200.

What AV equipment is included in the venue hire?

The theatre includes a technician as part of the rental fee. For smaller rooms like the lecture room, there's a large wall-mounted TV screen where you can plug in your laptop directly.

Is there a minimum spending requirement for theatre bookings?

Yes, there appears to be a minimum spending threshold for theatre bookings. Events with spending deemed "too low" may be declined even if the space can accommodate the guest count.

What are the rates for smaller meeting rooms?

The lecture room, which accommodates 60 people with a screen, costs £100 per hour. For charity organizations, a discounted rate of £100 + VAT for two hours may be available.

Does the venue have microphone systems available?

The theatre includes audio equipment as part of the technician service. However, smaller rooms like the lecture room don't have microphone systems, though amplification typically isn't needed for voice projection in those spaces.

What room configurations are available for conferences?

The venue offers a main conference room (the 270-seat theatre) suitable for theatre-style seating, plus breakout rooms that can accommodate 65 people. There are also additional smaller rooms for meetings and networking.

How far in advance should I book and what's the availability like?

Availability can be limited, with many dates already booked. The venue frequently has to decline requests due to unavailability, so booking well in advance is recommended for securing your preferred dates.

Are there any restrictions on event types or timing?

The theatre is available until 5pm for day events. Some event types may be declined if they don't meet spending requirements or if the venue determines it's not suitable for the specific event format requested.

Can external AV suppliers be brought in?

While the venue includes a technician with theatre bookings, specific policies about external AV suppliers and any associated buyout fees would need to be confirmed directly with the venue management.
