Conference venues will normally operate on a day rate or per session hire basis. This figure will normally come in to be around £200-£500 for the full day. In the event that the venue is hired on an hourly basis, there is a minimum amount of time you would need to book the venue, which you can expect to be around 3-4 hours. Costs could also increase depending on the kinds of refreshments you will be providing, as lunches will usually be more expensive than just coffee and snacks. (All data from Tagvenue.com)
