Frequently asked questions

What is the hire fee for the Events space and what does it include?
The full day hire fee (08:00-23:00) is £15,620 + VAT. This includes an Event Manager, Duty Manager, Technician for in-house equipment, and basic staffing for fire marshalling. Vehicle access is only permitted between 8am-11pm, so additional time for setup or de-rig may require booking the day before or after.
What are the capacity limits for different event setups?
Coopers Studio can accommodate 60 people maximum. The main Events space can handle larger numbers, with quotes showing capacity for 300+ guests for gala dinners and up to 600+ for standing events. Exact capacity depends on your specific layout requirements and event type.
What are the mandatory additional costs beyond the base hire fee?
Security/Hosts are required at £35 per hour for minimum 2 staff with 5-hour minimum call each (£350 minimum total). If using your own caterer, there's a £500 + VAT admin fee plus 10% commission on their final invoice. The same applies for external AV suppliers - £500 + VAT admin fee plus 10% commission.
What catering options are available and what are the restrictions?
Woolwich Works has five approved caterers: Clement Worrall, KERB, Palette, Social Pantry, and The Clink Events. They also offer a simple internal catering menu. You can use your own caterer but must pay a £500 + VAT admin fee and 10% commission on the final invoice.
What AV equipment is included and what are the costs for additional technical support?
A PA system and 2 microphones are included with the hire. Additional technical resources beyond this incur extra fees. An additional technician costs £310 + VAT per day. For requirements beyond in-house capabilities, they recommend external AV team White Light.
What furniture is provided and what are the limitations?
In-house furniture is included with the hire, subject to availability. You can view available furniture on their website. Additional furniture hire is required for items not available onsite, such as large round cabaret tables, with pricing to be confirmed based on requirements.
What are the vehicle access restrictions and setup requirements?
Vehicle access is only allowed onsite between 8am-11pm. If you need additional time for setup or de-rig, you must book the day before or after your event. This is particularly important for events requiring extensive production setup or large equipment deliveries.
How far in advance do I need to book and what affects availability?
Availability varies significantly by date and event size. The venue has limited capacity for large events with short lead times. Popular dates like late November may have no availability, and events requiring significant space or setup time need longer booking windows.
Are there any restrictions on event types or activities?
Based on available information, the venue accommodates various event types including cultural festivals, launch parties, and ticketed events. Specific restrictions on activities, noise levels, or event content are not detailed in the source material and would need to be confirmed directly with the venue.
What spaces are included in the hire and can I use outdoor areas?
The hire includes the main Events space plus workers bar and back of house spaces. The Worker's Yard is available as an outdoor addition, suitable for catering, summer parties, and festivals, and can accommodate food vendors, trailers, and marquees. A shipping container bar is also available for guest use.
