It depends on how long you need the room. Hourly hire can be better value for short meetings, while longer sessions may work out cheaper on a half-day, full-day or per-person rate. Compare the total cost for your required duration, including any minimum hire period and extras.
VAT arrangements vary by venue and pricing model. Check the individual listing and confirm with the venue whether VAT applies before booking, particularly when comparing the total cost of several rooms.
Of course, you can! Virtual or hybrid meetings can be hosted at many venues, and you can always ask the manager if they have the right equipment, such as conference microphones, high speed internet, and a video screen.
Yes, some do. Minimum hire periods vary by venue, so check them before comparing hourly rates. For example, a room advertised at £30 per hour with a four-hour minimum will cost at least £120, even if you only need it for two hours.
Some meeting rooms allow external catering, while others provide catering in-house or restrict outside food and drink. Use Tagvenue's catering filters and confirm the venue's policy before booking.
