Frequently Asked Questions
What are the venue hire costs and minimum spend requirements for OXO2 Events space?
Friday evening hire starts from £5,000 + VAT, with evening hire at £11,000 + VAT plus additional costs for catering, production, and security. The venue operates on a hire fee plus minimum food and beverage spend structure, though specific minimum spend amounts are not disclosed upfront and require budget discussion during enquiry.
What are the capacity limits for different event setups in the Events space?
The Events space accommodates up to 400 people for standing receptions, 160 for seated dinners, 150 for theatre-style setups, and 100 for cabaret arrangements. The space consists of two interconnecting gallery-style rooms that can be hired together or separately depending on your event size and requirements.
What are the standard operating hours and any restrictions on event timing?
Events typically run from 08:00-18:00 for daytime conferences, with evening events extending until 23:59. The venue can accommodate 5pm finishes at no additional cost if contracts are signed promptly, and access from 4pm is available for evening events with guests arriving around 7pm.
What mandatory additional costs should I budget for beyond the venue hire fee?
Security, event management, staffing, and cleaning are mandatory additions to the base hire fee. Production services through exclusive partner Vibration Production are typically required, and all catering must be provided by the in-house team. These costs are quoted separately and added to the venue hire fee.
What AV equipment is included and what are the upgrade options?
Basic AV package includes 4 x 75" professional display screens, 12 x uplighters, 2 x handheld microphones, lectern, and high-quality PA system. Vibration Production serves as the exclusive production partner for upgrades including audio, video, lighting, branding, staging, and additional screens for content display.
What catering packages are available and can I bring external caterers?
All catering must be provided by the in-house team - external caterers are not permitted. Standard conference packages include 3 servings of tea/coffee, 2 cold breakfast items, 2 mid-morning break bites, sandwich lunch with sides, and 2 afternoon break bites. Evening events offer bowl food reception packages, with welcome drinks and open bar options available.
How far in advance do I need to book and what is the booking process?
Dates are held on first option basis for 7 days before becoming joint first option (first come, first serve). Contracts are sent via DocuSign for signing, with deposit payment required as per contract terms. The venue recommends booking well in advance, particularly for popular dates like December events.
What are the setup and breakdown timeframes for events?
Conference events typically allow 08:00 arrival for 08:30-09:00 guest arrival. Evening events can access the space from 4pm with guests arriving around 7pm. The venue accommodates various setup requirements but specific breakdown times and additional setup days for complex productions need to be discussed during planning.
Are there restrictions on decorations, entertainment, or event activities?
The venue serves as a blank canvas space allowing full customization and theming. DJs, live music, photo booths, and 360 booths are permitted. The venue has expert theming and production partners to help execute creative visions, though all entertainment and décor arrangements must be coordinated through the events team.
What happens if my budget doesn't meet the venue's requirements?
The venue regularly declines enquiries that don't meet budget requirements, with staff stating they "will not be able to accommodate your budget" for events under their minimums. Budget flexibility is always asked about during initial enquiries, and alternative venue recommendations may be provided if OXO2 cannot accommodate the budget.
