Bookings are typically held on a 'Joint 1st option' basis, meaning other clients may be holding the same space on the same day. The first client to confirm gets exclusive use of the space, but the contract must be returned within three working days of confirmation to secure the booking.

All rates are based on a maximum 8-hour hire period, normally from 09:00 to 17:00. Hourly supplements and overnight hold charges may apply for additional time beyond the standard 8-hour period.

One projector and screen is included in the Day Delegate Rate. Additional AV equipment includes: stage blocks at £54.00 each, PA system at £245.00-£350.00, microphones at £66.00 each, lectern at £64.00, AV technician at £550.00 (maximum 8 hours, mandatory for 2+ microphones), and external AV supplier fee at £750.00.

The Milton Suite accommodates up to 200 in theatre layout, 150 in theatre (with reduced pricing), and 120 in cabaret layout. The Blackfriars Suite holds maximum 6 in boardroom layout. Leo's Balcony accommodates up to 100 people with a £4,000.00 minimum spend on food and beverage (50% on food).

Yes, setup the evening prior costs £2,000.00, and de-rig from 5:30pm until 23:00 costs £2,000.00. Complimentary access from 4pm on the day of the event is available for some bookings, but extended setup/breakdown times incur additional charges.

Catering is served in designated areas including Refreshment Area 1 for tea/coffee breaks and Leo's Restaurant for buffet lunches. The venue offers 2-course buffet lunch as standard, with working lunch options available (selection of sandwiches with small hot items served in refreshment space).

For outdoor events, loud music must be turned down at 8pm, with soft background music allowed until 11pm. Events must end by 11pm (carriages at 11pm). Hotel music plays by default, but you can hire the PA system at £300.00 to play your own music.

Decision deadlines are typically given with specific dates and times (e.g., "by 12.00 on Tuesday 27th May 2025"). If no response is received by the deadline, the venue assumes the space is no longer required and automatically releases the booking to other interested clients.
