What are the catering options and restrictions?

You can bring in outside catering for food as this is a dry hire venue. The on-site café is run by separate management, so you would need to speak to them directly on the day about drinks or setting up a tab.

What is the payment process and when is payment required?

Invoices must be paid on receipt to secure your booking. Payment can be split into two separate invoices if needed, but the first payment must be made to secure the booking, with the venue able to hold dates briefly while payment arrangements are confirmed.

Yes, all areas are wheelchair accessible with step-free access throughout the building, including entrances and restrooms. The space is on the ground floor with disabled access and fire exit, plus plenty of toilets available.

Can the Dining space be accessed independently from the main venue?

Yes, the Dining space can be accessed independently if required, or guests can be directed to the space via the main reception. This provides flexibility for private dining events and supper clubs.

What setup and breakdown arrangements apply?

This is a dry hire venue, meaning you are responsible for setting up and packing down yourselves. You can access the space from 9:30am for setup, and the venue provides all basic furniture and AV equipment.

Are there any restrictions on wall displays or decorations?

The venue has some wall space that can accommodate lightweight artwork, providing it doesn't damage the walls. This makes it suitable for exhibitions or events requiring wall displays alongside dining arrangements.
