Frequently asked questions
What are the exact pricing structures for the Main Reception Room and what's included in the base hire fee?
Room hire pricing varies significantly based on event type and timing, with quotes showing ranges from £1,650 for half-day hire to £10,800 for full-day conference use. The base hire typically includes standard AV equipment (lectern microphone, handheld mics, projector and screen), but catering, AV technician support, and extended hours are charged separately. VAT exemption applies to room hire only, not catering or additional services.
What are the mandatory additional costs beyond room hire that I need to budget for?
An AV technician is mandatory at £500-600 + VAT for most events requiring technical support. Public liability insurance is required as a condition of booking. Minimum catering numbers often apply (typically 80 guests for drinks packages), and if your group is smaller, you'll pay for the minimum regardless of actual attendance.
What are the capacity limits for different event setups in the Main Reception Room?
The space accommodates up to 200 people for theatre-style seating, 150 for cabaret-style dining, and can handle standing receptions for larger numbers when combined with adjacent spaces. For boardroom-style meetings, capacity drops to around 28 guests. The room works best for conferences and corporate events rather than intimate gatherings.
What catering packages are available and what are the per-person costs?
Day Delegate Rates range from £100-129 + VAT per person including room hire, refreshments, and lunch. Drinks reception packages cost £22.50-42 + VAT per person for 1-2 hours of unlimited wine, beer and soft drinks with canapés. Seated dinner packages start around £126 + VAT per person including room hire, three courses, and wine.
What are the standard event timings and access hours for corporate events?
Standard corporate events typically run 8:30am-5:00pm for full-day conferences, with host access available one hour before guest arrival. Evening events usually operate 6:00pm-11:00pm. Setup access can be arranged the day before for complex events, typically requiring 4-hour minimum hire periods.
Can I bring my own catering or use external suppliers, and what are the restrictions?
External catering appears to be restricted based on the quotes showing only in-house catering options. The venue operates as a comprehensive service provider with set menus and packages. Any external supplier arrangements would need specific approval and likely incur additional fees, though this isn't explicitly detailed in the available information.
What AV equipment is included and what technical support is available?
Standard AV package includes lectern microphone, 2 handheld mics, 2 lapel mics, 3 gooseneck table mics, projector and screen, and PA system. Live streaming and video conferencing packages are available. An AV technician is mandatory for most events at £500-600 + VAT and provides setup, operation, and technical support throughout your event.
How far in advance do I need to book and what's the booking process?
Dates are held on 1st or 2nd option basis, with 1st option being confirmed bookings and 2nd option being provisional holds. The booking process requires company details, billing address, contract signatory information, and public liability insurance before contracts are issued via DocuSign. Payment terms and deposit requirements aren't specified in the available information.
What happens if my guest numbers are below the minimum requirements for catering packages?
Most catering packages have minimum numbers (typically 65-80 guests), and you'll be charged for the minimum regardless of actual attendance. For example, drinks packages often require minimum 80 guests at £22.50 + VAT each, so you'd pay £1,800 + VAT even with only 50 attendees.
Are there any restrictions on event types, decorations, or setup requirements?
The venue accommodates conferences, corporate events, product launches, and private dining but specific restrictions on decorations, branding, or setup aren't detailed in available information. The space features original architectural details including stained glass windows and stone columns, which may limit certain decoration options. Setup requirements and restrictions would need to be confirmed during the booking process.
