Frequently asked questions
What is the pricing structure for hiring the Events spaces at The Building Centre?
Day delegate rate packages (DDR) for conferences and workshops start at £55 per person plus 20% VAT. For example, 120 attendees incur a total venue charge of £6,600, which includes room hire, AV, and catering. Full-day gallery or exhibition hires (for around 150 guests) are quoted at £5,000, and dry hire of the Main Gallery for evening events of up to 85 people is quoted at £8,000. Meeting rooms for 20 people start from £307, and Boardroom hire for 17–20 people ranges up to £1,000 per day depending on options.
Are there minimum or maximum capacities for events?
The Main Gallery accommodates up to 400 standing guests for large exhibitions or receptions; conference setups support 120–250 seated. Smaller spaces like meeting rooms suit groups of 10–20. Cabaret and networking events typically have guest ranges from 60 up to 120. Capacities must not be exceeded as part of venue policy.
What are the standard hire timings and are there restrictions?
Typical daytime hires run from 09:00 to 17:00, while evening events (e.g., Christmas parties) run 19:00–00:00. Earlier access from 07:30 can be arranged by request for conferences. Setup and breakdown periods are included within the hired slot. Overtime or out-of-hours access must be confirmed in advance and may be chargeable.
What is included in DDR (Day Delegate Rate) packages?
DDR packages (from £55+VAT per person) include main room hire, AV equipment (projector, screen, microphones, lectern), technician support, breakfast, lunch, all-day refreshments (tea, coffee, soft drinks), pastries, and sweet treats. Adjacent catering or networking spaces are included where specified. For conferences requiring post-event drinks, an additional unlimited drinks package is available at £12 per head for one hour.
Are there any mandatory additional costs or minimum spends?
For large conferences, a minimum number of delegates may apply (e.g., 120 pax for the Executive DDR). Some events (such as exhibitions, dry hire, or parties) are quoted as flat venue hire fees starting from £5,000 to £8,000. All prices are exclusive of 20% VAT, which must be added to the total. No hidden compulsory fees were detailed for standard hires.
What catering options are available and can I use my own suppliers?
Event packages generally include in-house catering (breakfast, lunch, drinks). Vegan catering can be provided on request. External catering is permitted for dry hire events by prior arrangement; however, details of any additional charges or kitchen/prep area fees for this were not provided. Halal catering availability was not confirmed.
What are the AV and technical provisions for events?
AV packages typically comprise projector or large display screens, PA systems, microphones (lectern, top table, roaming), and technician support. For exhibitions or trade shows, high-density Wi-Fi and 13A power sockets for all stands are included in all-inclusive packages. Dry hire events can use the venue's dimmable lighting and built-in sound as specified.
Are there restrictions on event types or prohibited activities?
Alcohol is permitted for standard parties and receptions but is not included in all quotes (e.g., non-alcoholic buffet required for children’s parties). For some hires, external vendors such as mobile bars are allowed until specified times (e.g., 21:00). The venue prohibits exceeding booked capacities and does not allow parking on-site, except by special arrangement for event organisers or VIPs.
How do I secure a booking and what are the payment terms?
To book an event, confirm your date and event requirements in writing with the venue team, who will issue a detailed quote. Details on deposit amounts and payment schedules were not specified. Cancellation terms or rebooking policies were not provided in the available information; clients should request these directly prior to confirming.
What accessibility features are available in the Events space?
All hired spaces at The Building Centre offer full step-free access from street level, lifts to all floors, and accessible restrooms nearby. Temporary ramps or freight-only lifts are avoided. Specific stages or distinct areas (e.g., for wheelchairs or quiet rooms) can be provided if pre-agreed.
Are there any setup, load-in, or breakdown restrictions?
Exhibitors and event organisers may load in between 09:00–10:00 or by prior arrangement (as with exhibitions needing Sunday evening builds). Pack-down must occur within the booked period unless extended by agreement. For large parties needing delivery or storage days before/after (e.g., gifts/crafts), this may be possible but should be discussed in advance.
