What are the seasonal availability restrictions for the Business space?

The venue is completely unavailable from late June through July, August, and September due to large rehearsals that occupy the entire venue. No other events can be accommodated during these months, so plan corporate events and meetings outside this period.

What is the booking confirmation process and payment requirements?

No agreement exists until a contract and full terms & conditions are signed by both parties and all hire fees and charges are paid in full. Any enquiry or discussion should never be taken as confirmation - the venue reserves the right to vary or cancel hires pre and post contract without liability.

How does the provisional booking system work?

The venue operates a tiered booking system with first, second, and third options for dates. If you're offered a second or third option, this means other events already have provisional holds, and you'll only be contacted if those bookings fall through.

What event types are prohibited at the venue?

Club nights are not permitted due to the building's listed status and the nature of their cultural programme. Sporting events are also not allowed, despite the venue's historical boxing heritage.

What catering and bar options are available for corporate events?

The venue operates primarily on a dry hire basis, allowing you to source external caterers of your choice. They have featured catering suppliers who have previously worked at the venue, and can provide an in-house bar service with a separate Bar Hire Guide available.

What production and AV equipment can be provided in-house?

Full production services are available in-house including audio, video, lighting, speakers, projectors, and monitors. Bespoke production quotes are provided based on specific requirements, with details available in their Production Guide.

What furniture and setup arrangements are included?

Folding chairs and trestle tables are available on site, and you can source additional furniture and décor from external suppliers. It is the hirer's responsibility to set up and clear down the space unless discussed with the venue in advance, which would be factored into the hire period.

Are there any Christmas party restrictions or special arrangements?

From November 24th to December 17th, the venue exclusively hosts KIN London's Christmas Social and is not available for other bookings. If interested in their Christmas party package, they can provide information about this partnership arrangement.

What is the venue's approach to cultural programming versus commercial hire?

The venue runs a fully curated cultural programme where shows are developed in consultation with the venue. For events that might align with their cultural programming, enquiries should be directed to their Cultural Programme team rather than standard venue hire.

What capacity can the Assembly Hall accommodate for different event formats?

For larger corporate events, up to 500 Matrix seats can be installed in the Assembly Hall with an additional 250 seats available in the balcony. Theatre-style seating for 650-700 people is possible, and cabaret-style arrangements can also be accommodated.
