What are the exact hire costs for Screen 1 and Screen 3 at Curzon Soho?

Screen 1 (249 seats) costs £3,839 + VAT per slot Monday-Sunday, while Screen 3 (81 seats) costs £1,249 + VAT per slot Monday-Sunday. Weekend slots are structured as 12-3pm, 3-6pm, 6-9pm, or 8:30-11:30pm, with each slot priced separately. Evening slots run 5:30-8:30pm or 8:30-11:30pm, also priced per individual slot.

How much does it cost to hire the bar area for networking events?

The bar costs £300 + VAT per hour for exclusive use accommodating up to 250 people standing. If you only need a section of the bar for up to 100 people standing, the cost reduces to £150 + VAT per hour. This provides a dedicated networking space separate from the main screening areas.

What's included in the standard screen hire package?

The hire cost includes use of the screen and projector, up to 3 handheld wireless microphones, technical support, and a mandatory technical rehearsal. The rehearsal runs for 30 minutes to 1 hour (depending on event complexity) and takes place at 10:30am on a weekday prior to your event day.

What are the requirements and costs for content delivery and technical rehearsals?

Content must be delivered in DCP format 72 hours before your technical rehearsal. If you have another format, conversion costs £500 + VAT. Technical rehearsals are mandatory and must be booked at least two weeks in advance during the 10:30-11:30am weekday slot. Additional fees apply for late content delivery or missed rehearsals.

How does the bar tab system work and what should I budget for drinks?

Curzon operates on a maximum tab limit system with self-service house wine, prosecco, beers and soft drinks that staff replenish. Budget £6 per person per drink for standard beverages. Cocktails, G&Ts and hard seltzer cans require pre-ordering at agreed prices, and all drink orders must be placed 2 weeks before your event.

What food and catering options are available for events?

In-house options include tea and coffee receptions, breakfast items, pizzas and light bites. For more extensive catering, you must use their approved external caterers who can also provide waiting staff. All catering orders must be confirmed 2 weeks before your event to guarantee staffing and stock availability.

What branding opportunities are available and do they cost extra?

Curzon offers a branding package that includes use of the canopy or readograph, plus takeover of all quad posters and digital screens throughout the venue. The branding package appears to be included with event bookings, though specific costs aren't detailed in standard quotes.

How far in advance do I need to book and what are the availability restrictions?

Technical rehearsals must be confirmed at least two weeks in advance as they get very booked up. The venue appears to have limited availability, with some periods showing no availability for the rest of certain years. Weekend and evening slots have specific time restrictions based on accommodating regular cinema showings.

What AV equipment is provided and can I bring my own technician?

Standard package includes screen, projector, up to 3 wireless handheld microphones, and technical support. For presentations, you can connect your laptop directly to the projector (HDMI output recommended). External AV technicians can work with the in-house team, and additional equipment like lapel or headset microphones must be hired externally.

What are the setup and access requirements for events?

You'll need to bring the laptop being used on event day to your mandatory technical rehearsal. For presentations, use 16:9 ratio full frame format to properly fill the screens, avoiding borders or content on extreme edges. Setup times and access requirements vary by event complexity and must be arranged in advance.
