What is the booking process and deposit requirements?
After receiving a quote, you'll be sent a booking contract that requires signatures on pages 3 and 12. Once the signed contract is returned, a deposit invoice for room hire only will be sent. The booking is not confirmed until the signed contract is received and deposit is paid.
Can I bring my own caterer or use external catering?
External catering is only allowed for religious purposes. If this applies, a separate dry hire package is available for £4,500 for the Compass Room and kitchen, which includes furniture for the space. Otherwise, you must use Lowry's in-house catering services.
What happens if multiple clients want the same date?
Lowry operates a hold system where dates can be placed on 'joint first option' if another client is already holding the same date. This means it becomes first-come-first-served basis, and the other client will be notified that someone else has enquired for their date.
What AV equipment and technical facilities are included?
The Pier Eight Room includes LCD projector, PA system, and WiFi as standard. The North and South meeting rooms have built-in screens and projectors or plasma displays. Basic AV is included in day delegate packages, but specific technical requirements may incur additional costs.
What are the bar and drinks pricing options?
Prosecco costs £36.00 per bottle, wine from £24.00 per bottle, bottled beer £6.00 per bottle, and elderflower presse/juices £4.50 per litre. The Compass Room has its own private bar facility. Christmas party packages include minimum bar spend requirements of £1,500.
Are there any restrictions on event timing or setup access?
Evening hire in the Compass Room runs from 18:00-00:30, while day hire is 12:00-18:00. Full day hire for conference rooms is typically 08:00-18:00 or 08:00-21:00. Setup and breakdown time allowances are not specified in the standard hire periods and would need to be arranged separately.
What special dietary requirements can be accommodated?
Lowry confirms that their chicken is certified halal. They can accommodate various dietary requirements through their catering team, though specific details about other dietary needs should be discussed during the planning process with their events team.
