Frequently asked questions

What is the typical hire price for the Dining space at The Building Centre?

Specific pricing for the Dining space is not provided. However, example event hires at The Building Centre show rates such as £9,000 for a Christmas party for 120 people (including dining). Minimum costs vary by event type and requirements, so detailed quotes must be requested based on your event’s guest count, timing, and desired inclusions.

What is the maximum capacity for dining and events in this space?

The Dining space accommodates up to 120 guests for seated dining events, as shown in Christmas party quotes. For standing receptions or drinks parties, capacities for similar ground floor spaces at The Building Centre reach up to 350 guests, but seated meal capacities are lower.

What is included in the standard event hire cost for the Dining space?

For example, a £9,000 Christmas party package for 120 guests includes a 3-course seated meal, DJ, festive decor (tree and garlands), dimmable ambient lighting, staffed cloakroom, and step-free access throughout. Precise inclusions may differ by event specification and should be confirmed during booking.

Are there any mandatory additional costs or services required?

Some events, such as drinks receptions or conferences, may require drinks packages or upgraded AV facilities; for example, drinks are often quoted as extras at £12 per person for an hour of unlimited drinks post-event. All catering and AV should be discussed in advance as non-standard or high-spec requests may increase the base price.

What are the timing restrictions for Dining events?

Evening dining events commonly run from 19:00 to 00:00. Daytime hire is available from 09:00 to 17:00, as reflected in conference and exhibition bookings. Extended access or setup/pack-down outside contracted hours needs to be pre-arranged and may incur extra charges.

Are there restrictions on external catering, entertainment, or vendor use?

Dining events for 120 guests (such as Christmas parties) are based on in-house catering and DJ entertainment. Permission to bring external caterers or non-standard entertainment is considered case-by-case and must be confirmed; additional fees or restrictions may apply for non-partner suppliers.

What deposit and payment schedule does The Building Centre require to secure a booking?

The specific deposit amount and payment schedule are not stated. This must be confirmed during the booking process. Event planners are advised to clarify deposit, balance due dates, and cancellation terms before confirming a reservation.

What is the process for confirming availability and making a booking?

To book the Dining space, provide preferred dates, guest numbers, and event requirements to The Building Centre's events team. Availability will be checked, a quote issued, and viewings can be arranged on request. Dates are only secured upon written confirmation and payment of any required deposit as stated by the venue.

Is step-free access and accessible restroom provision available for Dining events?

Yes, Dining space bookings include full step-free access throughout guest, dining, and restroom areas. Accessibility was specifically requested and confirmed for Christmas parties accommodating up to 150 guests.

Can the space accommodate dance floors or mixed-use layouts (dining plus dancing)?

Yes, flexible layouts are possible. For seated dinners with a dance floor (such as Christmas parties), table arrangements can be cleared after the meal for dancing. Venue staff handle transitions—advise requirements in advance to ensure suitable configurations within capacity limits.
