The Business space can accommodate up to 150 guests theatre style, 100 guests cabaret style, 80 guests on round tables with space for catering, or 150 standing for receptions. The exact capacity depends on your chosen layout and whether you need space for additional elements like staging or catering areas.

What are the standard access hours and can they be extended?

Standard access varies by booking but typically ranges from 8:00/9:00 AM to 17:00/21:00 depending on the event type. Day events usually run 8:00-17:00, while evening events can extend to 23:00. Access times are fixed in your contract and the venue must be fully vacated by the agreed end time.

What audio-visual equipment is included and what are the additional costs?

Most spaces include basic AV equipment such as screen, projector, sound system, microphone, and lectern as part of the room hire. Additional equipment like piano hire costs £200 plus VAT plus tuning, and entertainment such as pianists start from £250-£300 depending on performance style.

What catering packages are available and what do they include?

Day Delegate packages range from £85-£143 plus VAT per person (minimum 80-100 guests) including arrival refreshments, breaks, lunch, room hire and basic AV.

What is the booking process and deposit requirements?

To confirm booking, provide written confirmation with contract and billing details. A signed contract plus deposit of 100% of room hire and minimum catering spend (or 100% of package price based on minimum numbers) is required within one week of confirmation. Final guest numbers and menu selections are typically required closer to the event date.

What additional charges should I budget for beyond the quoted prices?

A discretionary 12.5% service charge is added to all food and beverage on the final invoice (you can opt out by informing the team before final invoicing). All prices quoted are plus VAT at 20%. Entertainment, decorations, and any special requirements beyond standard packages incur additional costs.

Are there restrictions on entertainment, music, or decorations?

The venue operates within a members' club environment, so entertainment and suppliers must be approved in advance by the Event Team. Music should be appropriate for the clubhouse setting - classical, jazz, or acoustic background music is preferred. All decorations and entertainment are at additional cost and subject to venue approval.

Can external caterers or suppliers be used?

No, the venue does not offer dry hire due to limited kitchen facilities available to external caterers. All catering must be provided by Six Park Place's in-house team. External suppliers for entertainment, decorations, or other services must be approved in advance by the Event Team.

What happens if my event needs to be cancelled or rescheduled?

The venue may offer alternative dates if your preferred date becomes unavailable, but there's no guarantee of availability. If the venue cannot accommodate your requirements, they will assist in finding alternative venues. Specific cancellation terms would be outlined in your signed contract.
