What AV equipment and technical support is included with venue hire?
Theatre hire includes screen and projector, lectern with comfort monitor and lectern mic, PA system and speakers, 1 roving mic, electronic pointer/clicker, ability to colour wash the space, and an AV technician as standard. Additional charges apply for event filming or livestreaming.
What are the Day Delegate Rate packages and what do they include?
The Day Delegate Rate is £79.00+VAT per person (minimum 40 people) for Studio & Balcony hire from 08:30-17:00. This includes breakfast on arrival, mid-morning refreshments, individually served lunch, afternoon refreshments, full AV equipment, onsite technician, security, and event management.

What are the booking confirmation and payment requirements?
For short lead bookings, confirmation is required by end of play the following day with full pre-payment required by close of play within a specified timeframe (typically within days of confirmation). Standard booking terms may vary depending on lead time.
What are the standard hire times and can they be adjusted?
Standard half-day hire runs 13:00-17:00, full day hire 08:30-17:00, and evening hire 18:30-22:30. Custom timings can be accommodated - for example, 15:30-18:30 has been offered for specific events, though this may affect minimum spend requirements.
Are there alternative pricing structures available for events with lighter catering needs?
Yes, instead of Day Delegate Rates, room hire plus minimum catering spend can be offered. For example, Studio & Balcony hire at £3,000.00+VAT plus £1,600.00+VAT minimum catering spend for 08:30-17:00 hire, allowing clients to choose their own catering from available menus.
What additional charges should be expected beyond the base hire rate?
Additional charges apply for event filming or livestreaming beyond the standard AV technician service. All prices are subject to VAT. Minimum catering spends are mandatory and calculated per person with minimum guest requirements varying by package.
Can guests access the gallery exhibitions during events?
Exhibition access depends on timing and current exhibitions. During some periods there may be no exhibitions as the venue prepares for upcoming exhibits. When exhibitions are running, such as Quantum Untangled, admission is typically free and guests can visit before or after event sessions.
