What’s dry hire?
We’re a ‘dry hire’ venue. This means you’re hiring the space only, without extras like catering, decorations or production (sound and lighting). For these things, you can choose from our list of approved suppliers.
Can I book a venue for a daytime event?
Unfortunately, we can’t offer daytime hire.
What’s the average setup time?
Suppliers can start setting up from 18.00 when we close to the public for the day. Setup usually takes approximately an hour to an hour and a half depending on the event.
Your guests can arrive from 19.00 to have drinks in the arrival area. The main event space normally opens from around 19.45.
How soon will you reply to my enquiry?
We aim to get back to you within 24 hours. If you haven’t heard back from us in that time, give us a call on (+44) 20 7942 5434.
How long will the booking process take?
Normally, our booking process takes 2–3 weeks to complete, but it depends on the event.
What’s included in the booking process?
- When you confirm you’d like to go ahead, we’ll send you our event confirmation form to complete and sign.
- We’ll then issue our contract and invoice.
- Once you’ve returned the signed contract and paid the deposit, your event is confirmed.
Do I have to use your recommended suppliers?
Yes, you must use our approved suppliers.
What’s the latest I can have my event?
Our standard hire is to midnight, but we can extend to 01.00, 02.00 or 03.00. For costs for extra hours, make an enquiry.
If you’re hosting your event outside, all guests will be asked to move inside after 22.00.
