What capacity does The Bowl accommodate and what events is it suitable for?
The Bowl is designed for large-scale events with capacities of 4,000+ attendees. It's used for corporate conferences, award ceremonies, concerts, and multi-day events requiring arena-scale space.
Are there additional costs beyond the base venue hire?
Yes, significant additional costs apply. Conference catering runs £30 per person per day, drinks packages cost £33 per person for 2 hours, and canapes are £17 per person. Setup days incur separate charges of £30,000 + VAT.
What is included in the conference catering package?
The £30 per person per day catering includes arrival pastries, 3 servings of tea and coffee, and sandwich lunch. This pricing is based on large groups of 1,000+ people and may vary for smaller events.
Can events be held on any day of the week?
No, availability is limited by confirmed concerts and other bookings. The venue regularly has concerts scheduled that block availability, so early booking is essential to secure preferred dates.
What AV and technical facilities are available in The Bowl?

Is there space for exhibitions or vendor stalls during events?
Yes, The Bowl can accommodate exhibitions and vendor stalls. For large conferences, the space can host around a dozen exhibitors with tabletop displays and pop-up banners in the catering areas for maximum footfall.
What is the typical event timeline and setup requirements?
Multi-day events typically require a setup day (charged at £30,000 + VAT) followed by event days. Events can run from early morning (7:00 AM) to late evening, with the venue accommodating various timing requirements based on event needs.
Are there restrictions on event budgets or minimum spends?
Yes, The Bowl is positioned for high-budget events with venue hire alone starting at £70,000-£100,000 per day. Events with budgets under £10,000-£15,000 are typically declined as unsuitable for this space.
