How far in advance should I book and what is the booking process?

The venue gets quite booked up, especially for popular dates, so early booking is strongly recommended.

You'll work with a dedicated Event Manager from booking through to event day, and quotes are held for 5 working days before follow-up contact.

Are there any restrictions on room configurations or event types?

Room configurations depend on the specific space - some have ceiling height restrictions (around 4 metres in certain areas), which affects staging and LED screen installations. The venue can accommodate various layouts including theatre, cabaret, standing reception, and formal dining. Some spaces have built-in features like bars and screens that may influence your event design and setup options.
