The Great Hall accommodates up to 1,000 guests standing reception only - no other setups work for this capacity. Canoville Suite holds up to 500 standing reception, Under the Bridge accommodates up to 550 standing, and smaller suites like Harris and Tambling work for seated events up to 40-100 guests depending on layout.

The venue requires updates by end of week or they will release held space. For events requiring confirmation, you must respond promptly or risk losing your booking. No specific hold periods are mentioned, but the venue operates on tight turnaround expectations.

Events typically run during standard business hours with some evening options. Under the Bridge has a 1am late license for after-parties. Organizer access may be available from 6:00am on event days, and there may be options for pre-event setup the evening before, though specific timing restrictions aren't detailed.

Basic AV packages start from £795+ VAT and can go up to £9,100+ VAT depending on requirements. Peachy Productions is the onsite AV company. Basic setups may include projector, screen, and microphones, but enhanced packages with branding and advanced equipment cost significantly more.

The venue's cancellation policy for fixture conflicts isn't clearly specified in available information. If a women's game gets confirmed after your booking, you may need to leave the venue, but whether this constitutes a penalty-free cancellation requires direct confirmation with the venue.
