What is the DDR package pricing and what does it include for film and photo shoots?

The DDR package costs £65 per person and includes arrival tea/coffee, fresh fruit smoothies, pastries, bacon baps, sausage rolls, fresh fruit, mid-morning refreshments, buffet or working lunch, afternoon tea/coffee, cookies/cakes, room hire (09:00-17:00), complimentary WiFi, pens & pads, flipchart, 47" TV screen with HDMI cable, filtered water, dedicated events coordinator, and full event staffing. For a 50-person production, the total cost would be £6,500 for two days.

What are the overnight hold costs for extended filming schedules?

Overnight hold costs £2,200 and includes blocking out the event spaces during the evening hours. This allows productions to maintain exclusive access to the space between filming days without having to completely break down and reset equipment.

What AV equipment is included and what are the technical specifications?

The venue provides a 47" TV screen with HDMI cable, complimentary WiFi, and basic flipchart facilities as part of the DDR package. For larger productions requiring microphones, speakers, or projector screens, these would need to be arranged separately as they are not included in the standard package.

What are the standard operating hours and can filming extend beyond these times?

Standard room hire operates from 09:00 to 17:00 as part of the DDR package. Extended hours for filming can be accommodated with the overnight hold option at £2,200, which blocks out the spaces during evening hours.

What catering options are available for film and photo crews?

The DDR package includes comprehensive catering with arrival refreshments, mid-morning snacks, buffet or working lunch, and afternoon refreshments. Additional three-course dinners can be added at £35 per person and are served in the hotel restaurant.

What is the capacity range for the Film and Photo space?

Based on event quotes, the space can accommodate productions with crew sizes ranging from 25 to 70 people. The DDR package pricing examples show configurations for 50 guests, suggesting this is within the optimal capacity range for the space.

Are there any restrictions on filming equipment or setup requirements?

The venue is described as a "blank-canvas" space that can be "stripped bare" so clients can add their own touches, suggesting flexibility for equipment setup. However, specific restrictions on filming equipment, lighting rigs, or structural modifications are not detailed in the available information.

What is the booking and payment process for film and photo shoots?

The venue requires confirmation and payment as soon as possible once availability is confirmed. Specific payment terms, deposit requirements, and cancellation policies are not detailed in the available information, so these would need to be confirmed directly with the venue.

Is the Film and Photo space fully private during shoots?

The space appears to offer private hire options, as evidenced by corporate events requiring "private rooms" being accommodated. The overnight hold option also suggests exclusive access can be maintained, but specific privacy guarantees during filming hours would need confirmation.

What accessibility features are available at the venue?

The venue offers disability-friendly access including disabled toilets, lifts, and handrails. As a converted 1920s cinema building, accessibility features have been incorporated to meet modern standards, though specific details about equipment access or loading areas are not specified.
