What are the exact hire costs for Screen 1 at different times?

Screen 1 (119 seats) costs £1,284 + VAT per slot Monday-Tuesday, and £1,835 + VAT per slot Wednesday-Sunday. Weekend evening slots are 6pm-9pm or 8:30pm-11:30pm, with doubling costs if you need both slots. Full day hire (7am-5pm) costs £4,250 + VAT.

What technical equipment is included and what are the content delivery requirements?

The hire includes screen, projector, up to 3 handheld microphones, and technical support. Content must be delivered in DCP format 72 hours before your technical rehearsal. If you have another format, conversion costs £500 + VAT, with additional fees for late delivery or missed rehearsals.

What is included in the mandatory technical rehearsal?

A 30-minute to 1-hour technical rehearsal is included, scheduled at 10:30am-11:30am prior to your event day. The duration depends on your event's complexity. Missing this rehearsal incurs additional fees.

Can I connect laptops for presentations and what equipment is needed?

Yes, laptops can be connected to the screen for presentations. Both PC and Apple laptops work if they have HDMI adaptors. The venue recommends consolidating all content onto one laptop to avoid transitions between multiple devices.

What are the bar hire costs and capacity limits?

Exclusive bar hire costs £300 + VAT per hour for up to 125 people standing. This covers the space only - food and drinks are separate with no minimum spend requirements and no service charges added.

How does the drinks service work and what are the costs?

Standard service includes a self-service selection of house wine, prosecco, beers and soft drinks with a maximum tab limit. Budget £6 per person per drink for this selection. Specialty drinks like cocktails, G&Ts and hard seltzers require pre-ordering at agreed prices.

What food options are available and what are the ordering deadlines?

In-house options include tea/coffee receptions, breakfast items, pizzas and light bites. External caterers handle anything beyond this. All food orders must be placed 2 weeks before your event to ensure staffing and stock - orders after this deadline cannot be guaranteed.

How many microphones are available and can they be moved between screens?

The venue has 4 wireless microphones total across the building. For single screen events, you can have up to 3 microphones. The microphones cannot easily be moved between screens during events, so distribution is fixed once set up.

What are the time slot restrictions for weekend bookings?

Weekend pricing is based on fitting four shows per day. Time slots are typically 12pm-3pm, 3pm-6pm, 6pm-9pm, or 8:30pm-11:30pm. If you need time spanning two slots, the price doubles. Events can finish as late as 11:48pm with 5-10 minutes for room clearing.

What branding opportunities are available?

A branding package is offered alongside events, including use of the canopy or readograph, takeover of all quad posters and digital screens. This allows comprehensive venue branding for your screening event.
