Frequently Asked Questions
What is the minimum budget required for events at CodeNode?

The Alt/Tab Room costs £5,000 + VAT per day (9am-6pm) and accommodates up to 96 people in cabaret layout with basic AV equipment included. Full venue exclusive hire is available at £20,000 + VAT, which includes access to six modern event spaces, reception area, and networking areas from 8am-5pm.
What capacity limits apply to different event layouts?
