Frequently asked questions

What are the room hire costs and capacity limits for different event types?

The Bevan Suite accommodates 150 theatre/77 cabaret, and the Great Hall holds 294 theatre/160 cabaret with DDR packages starting from £90-95+VAT per person. Minimum numbers typically apply - 40 for dining packages, 70-120 for DDR packages depending on the room.
What catering minimums and costs should I expect?
Most spaces require minimum catering spends: £250+VAT for lunch in smaller rooms like Tudor Hart, £3,500+VAT for larger events, and £90+VAT per person for fine dining packages. External caterers are not permitted due to exclusive contracts with in-house caterers. Day Delegate Rates include arrival refreshments, mid-morning breaks, lunch, and afternoon tea.
What AV equipment and technical support is included?
Room hire includes data projector, screen, flipchart, and PA system with up to 3-8 microphones depending on the space. The Great Hall features extensive AV including high-powered projectors, multiple microphones, staging, lighting, and full-day technical support. Additional technicians cost £450+VAT per day for complex events requiring heavy editing or more than 4 lapel mics.
How far in advance do I need to confirm my booking?
Enquiries typically expire in the venue's system after specific deadlines - usually 10-14 days from initial quote. The venue experiences high demand and recommends confirming bookings promptly to secure dates. Response times for enquiries are currently 1-2 days due to high volume.
What are the timing restrictions and access hours?
Garden spaces close at 22:00 but events can continue in indoor rooms until 23:00. The Garden and Garden room can only be booked from 6:30pm-11pm for certain event sizes. Most day events run 9am-5pm with 8am access available for setup. Wedding packages include access from 14:00-23:30 with earlier supplier access.
Are there capacity limitations I should know about?
The Garden and Garden room combination has a maximum of 90 guests for summer events, while some enquiries for 120+ guests cannot be accommodated in this space. The venue has spaces ranging from 14 people (Tudor Hart) up to 300+ (Great Hall), but specific room availability depends on your guest count and event requirements.
What accessibility features are available?
The third floor is wheelchair accessible but requires use of a wheelchair lift once on the floor to access rooms like the Bevan Suite. The wheelchair lift has weight limits that may be unsuitable for electric wheelchairs, so details of wheelchair users must be provided in advance for assessment.
Can I get charity discounts or special pricing?
Registered charities may receive discounted rates - for example, DDR packages reduced from £95+VAT to £90+VAT per person. The venue considers budget constraints for charitable organizations and may offer reduced pricing on room hire and packages when charity status is confirmed.
What hybrid and recording capabilities do you offer?
The venue offers filming packages starting from £900+VAT and hybrid packages from £1,700+VAT depending on complexity. They have ongoing investment in hybrid equipment and can accommodate live streaming requirements with stable WiFi and technical support, though specific needs should be discussed during planning.
What are the wedding package costs and what's included?
Wedding venue hire costs £6,600 for spaces like Prince's Room, Snow Room, Garden and Garden Room with access 14:00-23:30. The Lavender Package costs £170 per person including two welcome proseccos, four canapes, three-course wedding breakfast with wine, toast drink, and evening food truck, with minimum numbers of 40 applying.
