Host rules

Please respect the space, the staff, and each other - we’re inclusive, welcoming, and expect the same from our guests.
All equipment (mics, TVs, projector) must be used responsibly - any damage may incur charges.
You must bring your own HDMI cable to connect to screens and projector.
No external alcohol is permitted.
Catering is not provided in-house, but external food (e.g. pre-arranged pizza delivery) is welcome.
Events must finish at the agreed time. We love a party, but licences exist for a reason.
Noise levels must be managed appropriately, especially when using outdoor areas.
Decorations are welcome, but nothing that causes damage (no confetti cannons, glitter explosions, or wall attachments without approval).
All guests must adhere to our zero-tolerance policy on discrimination or harassment of any kind.
The venue must be left in a reasonable condition - excessive cleaning may result in additional fees.

Cancellation policy: Flexible
