Frequently Asked Questions
What is the daily hire rate for the main Ctrl room and what does it include?
The Ctrl room costs £12,000 + VAT per day (9am-6pm) and includes a 5m x 3m projection screen, high-spec projector, stage with adjustable lighting, lectern, PA system with 8 microphones, comfort monitors, repeater screens, and uplighters. The Alt/Tab room is available for £2,000 + VAT per day and accommodates up to 96 people in cabaret layout or 150 in theatre style.
What are the capacity limits for different room layouts in the Ctrl room?
The Ctrl room can accommodate up to 300-400 people in theatre style for conferences and presentations. For cabaret layouts, capacity is reduced but specific numbers aren't provided in the available information. The Alt/Tab breakout room holds up to 96 people in cabaret style or 150 in theatre style.
What is the minimum budget threshold for events at CodeNode?
CodeNode has indicated that events with budgets of £1,000 or less are not a good match for the venue. Based on pricing examples, most single-day events range from £17,000-£24,000 + VAT for venue hire alone, suggesting a realistic minimum budget of £15,000-£20,000 including basic requirements.
What are the standard operating hours and early access options?
Standard venue hire runs from 9am to 6pm. Early access is available from 7am-8am for £1,000 + VAT, and evening access from 6pm-7pm costs £1,200 + VAT (though this may be waived with drinks packages). Setup access the evening before events is available for a 3-hour window for AV testing and exhibitor setup.
What audio-visual equipment and services are included, and what costs extra?
The Ctrl room includes basic AV: 5m x 3m screen, projector, stage lighting, PA system with 8 microphones, comfort monitors, and repeater screens. Additional services cost extra: extra microphones at £80/day each, production laptops at £300/day, full audio production package at £4,000/day, and breakout room AV at £750/day. Branded digital gobos cost £400 per disc plus £200/day per additional spotlight.
How does catering work and what are the typical costs?
CodeNode recommends Easy Gourmet for catering rather than providing in-house services. Day delegate rates (DDR) range from £32-£60 per person + VAT depending on the package, typically including breakfast, lunch, tea/coffee breaks, and refreshments. A 2-hour canape package costs £29.50 per person (minimum 100 people), and drinks packages range from £20-£30 per person + VAT.
What is included in exclusive venue hire and when is it recommended?
Exclusive venue hire costs £20,000-£24,000 + VAT and includes access to all six event spaces, reception area, ESCape breakout area, SpaceBar, ping pong tables, foosball, loading bay access, and basic AV in the main Ctrl room. This option is recommended for events requiring multiple spaces, exhibition areas, or when you need guaranteed privacy and flexibility throughout the venue.
What are the exhibition and networking space options?
The ESCape breakout area (5,000 sq ft) can accommodate exhibition stands and networking, typically included in exclusive hire packages or available separately for £5,000 + VAT. The space can handle up to 20-30 exhibitor tables and includes ceiling-mounted screens, projectors, and LED uplighters. There's also a large loading bay with goods lift for easy equipment access.
What drinks and evening reception options are available?
CodeNode offers 1-hour drinks packages at £20 per person + VAT and 2-hour packages at £30 per person + VAT, including unlimited beer, cider, wine, and soft drinks. The venue has a fully licensed SpaceBar managed by CodeNode staff. Evening hire (6pm-7pm) typically costs £1,200 + VAT but may be waived when booking drinks packages.
What are the booking and payment processes?
Initial enquiries are handled by the venue sales team who provide quotes based on specific requirements. Site visits can be arranged for potential clients. The venue requires detailed event briefs including dates, numbers, timings, layout preferences, catering needs, and AV requirements to provide accurate pricing. Payment terms and deposit requirements are not specified in the available information.
