Frequently asked questions

What is the capacity of the Wellington Suite and are there layout restrictions?

The Wellington Suite accommodates up to 100 people depending on layout. For banquet style, capacity is 70; for theatre, up to 70; boardroom, 22; U-shape, 24; cabaret, 20; classroom, 32; and for a standing reception, the maximum is 100. Confirm the required event layout with the venue, as some transitions (e.g. switching between conference and dinner setups) may not be possible within tight timeframes.

What are the standard event times and are there any timing restrictions?

Events at the Wellington Suite are commonly scheduled in daytime slots (such as 09:00–17:00 for meetings), evenings (e.g., 19:00–21:00 for dinners), and all-day affairs (e.g., 13:00–22:00 for conferences and gala events). Earlier access or late finishes may be allowed but need agreement. Events starting prior to 8:00 or finishing after midnight are not referenced, and such timings may not be permitted without special arrangement.

What is included in event packages and what are common mandatory costs?

Event packages generally include exclusive venue hire, basic AV (projector, screen, possibly microphones), natural daylight, stationery, and onsite event support. Catering options feature buffet lunches, bespoke dinners, and open bar or drinks packages. Some packages specify inclusion of welcome drinks, DJ or live entertainment, and hot buffet lunch. For day delegate packages, three refreshment breaks, lunch, AV, and Wi-Fi are standard. Mandatory costs will apply for all attendees at the quoted per person rates.

Are there any additional fees or required minimum spends beyond the base package?

Some events require a minimum spend—e.g., drinks receptions may have a £2,000 minimum. Certain packages (e.g., full Christmas dinner with open bar) are all-inclusive within a set budget. Additional services like fresh floral centrepieces, enhanced AV, extended hire times, or bespoke menu items incur extra charges. VAT at 20% applies to most line items. No information found regarding mandatory security or cleaning fees.

What is the process for holding, confirming and paying for a booking?

You can place a hold on a date, though this is not guaranteed until confirmation. Holds can be released at the venue's discretion if there is no timely update from the client. To confirm, respond to the venue with your acceptance and then complete any necessary paperwork or payment links provided. Payment timelines and deposit details are not specified, so you should clarify these with the venue when proceeding.

Can I use my own suppliers or do I have to use in-house catering and AV?

All event packages referenced include in-house catering and basic AV (projector, screen, microphones where available). The venue provides their own catering and does not mention approval of external suppliers; bringing in outside caterers or AV is not referenced and should be assumed to be limited or prohibited until confirmed.

Are there restrictions on types of events, decor, or activities allowed in the space?

The Wellington Suite is suitable for a wide range of event types—conferences, dinners, receptions, meetings, training sessions, weddings, and more. No information is provided on restrictions regarding music levels, decoration (other than an option to pay for fresh floral arrangements), or prohibited activities/materials. For anything involving entertainment (e.g., DJ or live band), these are available via the venue. Activities that might involve unusual risks should be checked when booking.

What is the cancellation policy or process for changes?

There is no explicit information provided regarding cancellation terms or charges for changes to bookings. All booking holds are subject to release if not confirmed in time. You should request written confirmation of cancellation policies when discussing your event with the venue.

What amenities and technology are available in the event space as standard?

Standard amenities include natural daylight from floor-to-ceiling windows, in-built projectors, LCD screens or TVs (if part of package), basic AV (PA system, one microphone), Wi-Fi, business stationery, and flexible seating arrangements. For specific needs such as additional microphones or technical support, check if these are included in your quoted package.
