What are the restrictions for ticketed events?
For ticketed events, all tickets must be pre-purchased - the venue does not allow tickets to be sold on the night. This policy applies to all ticketed events regardless of size or type.
What are the Day Delegate Rate packages and pricing?

How long can provisional bookings be held without confirmation?
The venue releases provisional space holdings if no updates are received within a reasonable timeframe. Clients are typically given specific deadlines (such as 1pm on a particular date) to confirm or the booking will be automatically released. Regular follow-ups occur before release.
What are the capacity limits for different room setups?
The Grand Hall accommodates up to 400 guests cabaret style or 650 theatre style. The Cornwall Suite holds up to 250 for banquet dinner or 200 for dinner dance. Individual meeting rooms vary from 12 guests (boardroom style) to 105 guests (theatre style). Capacity for boxing events is reduced due to ring setup requirements.
What additional charges apply beyond the base package rates?
Additional costs include: LCD projector and screen from £195.00 inclusive of VAT, unlimited tea/coffee/refreshments at £11.50 per person, energising lunch at £20.95 per person, sandwich lunch at £12.95 per person, and various breakfast items from £4.00-£4.95 per person. AV equipment requires separate quotation from suppliers.
What are the minimum spend requirements for post-event receptions?
Post-meeting drinks require a minimum spend of £3,000.00-£5,000.00 inclusive of VAT depending on the space, with at least 50% spent on food. If the guaranteed minimum spend is not reached, the remaining balance is charged as room hire.
