Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum number of guests required to book the Events space?
All meeting spaces and banqueting bookings require a minimum of 30 people for conferences and 50 people for banqueting events. Groups smaller than these minimums cannot be accommodated at the venue.
What are the Day Delegate Rate packages and pricing?
The Classic DDR Package starts from £53 per person plus VAT and includes main suite hire, arrival tea/coffee with pastries and fruit, mid-morning refreshments, finger buffet lunch, afternoon tea/coffee, water, projector and screen, flipchart, Wi-Fi, car parking, and dedicated event manager. A Premier DDR Package is available at £64 plus VAT with enhanced catering options.
Can I bring my own caterer or use external catering?
The venue does not operate on a pure dry hire basis and external catering is not normally allowed on site. You must use either the venue's in-house catering or one of their contracted preferred caterers who will quote for both room hire and catering as part of their package.
What are the capacity limits for different event layouts?
The Diomed suite can accommodate up to 500 people in theatre style and up to 224 people in cabaret style. The venue cannot accommodate events requiring 700 guests with 500 seated, as their kitchen facilities and largest halls are not equipped to service these numbers in seated capacity.
What additional room hire fees apply beyond the Day Delegate Rate?
Additional room hire fees include £1,000 plus VAT for the mezzanine area in the Blue Ribband suite, £2,000 plus VAT for catering space hire, and £2,000 plus VAT for all breakout spaces. Individual breakout rooms range from £300-£1,800 plus VAT depending on size and capacity.

What are the pricing options for evening events and entertainment?
All-inclusive dining packages start from £67 per person including VAT for exclusive party suite, non-alcoholic arrival drink, three-course menu, staffing, security, and complimentary parking. DJ and dance floor can be added for £400 plus VAT, and half bottle of wine per person costs £18.75.
