How far in advance must contracts be signed for confirmed bookings?
For events with short notice (such as next week), contracts must be signed by 12:00 the following day to allow sufficient planning time. Additionally, full payment is required prior to the event for short-notice bookings. Standard advance bookings have more flexible contract timelines.
What are the different booking option levels and how do they work?
Venues offer first option (exclusive hold), second option (backup position), or joint first option (shared hold with another client). If you want to secure a date, you need to request a hold on your preferred option level. Spaces are released if no response is received within the specified timeframe.
What catering packages are available and what are the minimum spends?
Reception packages start at £99 + VAT per person including 3 hours unlimited drinks, 3 canapés and 3 bowl food items. Day Delegate Rates (DDR) start at £85-£106.80 + VAT per person including room hire, meals and refreshments. Wedding packages include exclusive hire, welcome drinks, canapés, bowl foods and various service elements. Minimum spends vary by time period and space configuration.
Are there restrictions on external suppliers and what charges apply?
External suppliers can be hired directly by clients, but if contracted through the venue, a 20% service charge applies. For example, DJ services from their preferred supplier Spiral Entertainment can be arranged either way. All external suppliers must comply with the venue's policies and requirements.
What are the exact operating hours and setup times available?
Day period operates 8:00-17:00, evening period 18:00-23:00. Cross-period bookings cover any timing that spans both periods, including the 17:00-18:00 turnaround time. Setup access may be available earlier depending on the event requirements and venue availability.

Optional extras include a perspex frosted lectern with integrated monitor and microphone (£165 + VAT), stage with black carpet and skirting 6m x 2m (£475 + VAT), and media wall (£1,250 + VAT). The venue also offers various branding opportunities throughout the space.
