What are the pricing options for the Business space and what's included?

The Events Space alone costs £450 + VAT per hour with a 3-hour minimum booking (£1,350 + VAT minimum). For the combined Events Space & Business Lounge, the rate is £1,000 + VAT per hour with a 3-hour minimum (£3,000 + VAT minimum). If booking just the Events Space, all breaks and food must be consumed inside that space, but the combined booking gives you access to both areas for more flexibility.

What are the capacity limits and seating arrangements available?

The Events Space accommodates up to 100 guests in theatre or standing format, 56 guests in cabaret style (7 tables of 8), or 32 guests in classroom setup. For groups over 60 people requiring catering space, you'll need to book the combined Events Space & Business Lounge package to ensure adequate room for food service and networking.

What catering options are available and at what cost?

Breakfast options range from £4 + VAT per person (tea, coffee, biscuits) to £16 + VAT per person (tea, coffee, breakfast sandwiches, juices). Lunch is £22 + VAT per person (sandwiches, crisps, popcorn, desserts, fruit, soft drinks). Canapés cost £13 + VAT per person (selection of platters) or £4.50 + VAT per person (nuts, olives, crisps).

Are there additional mandatory costs I should know about?

Security is mandatory at £250 + VAT for events running after 18:00. You get 1 hour of complimentary setup time before your event, but additional setup time will incur extra charges. An event manager is provided on-site during your event at no additional cost.

What are the booking hold and confirmation procedures?

The venue will place dates on hold for potential bookings, but holds are released if no response is received within 48 hours of follow-up communications. You must confirm your booking within this timeframe or risk losing your preferred date.

What AV equipment and setup support is provided?

The venue provides screens, projectors, and basic AV setup. They can supply flipcharts for presentations and have an on-site event manager to assist with technical needs during your event. Specific details about microphones and other AV equipment should be confirmed when booking.

Can I bring external catering or alcohol to the venue?

Alcoholic beverages are not permitted at the Farringdon location. The venue has in-house catering options available, but policies regarding external catering are not specified in available information and should be confirmed directly with the venue when booking.

What meeting room options are available for smaller groups or breakout sessions?

The venue offers meeting rooms accommodating 6-16 people at rates ranging from £60-£120 + VAT per hour, depending on room size. For events requiring multiple breakout spaces (such as 3-4 rooms for 15 people each), the venue may not have sufficient capacity and alternative arrangements would need to be discussed.

Are there any restrictions on event timing or days of the week?

Events can run during standard business hours, with security required at £250 + VAT for events extending past 18:00. The venue appears to operate seven days a week, but specific availability and any day-of-week restrictions should be confirmed when making your booking inquiry.

What is the cancellation and rebooking policy?

Specific cancellation policies are not detailed in available information. However, the venue does accommodate date changes and rebooking requests when possible, as evidenced by their flexibility with client scheduling needs. Cancellation terms should be clarified during the booking process.
