FAQ

Hire can be dry hire or include basic furniture and furnishings, such as tables, chairs, a sofa, mirror, rail and dresser, at no extra cost; specific requirements can be discussed with the venue. Extra items, including A/V, lighting and larger furniture, can be arranged through hire partners at an additional cost. The venue includes multiple business units, a daytime coffee shop, free high-speed Wi-Fi, on-site toilets, baby-changing facilities, a wheelchair-accessible bathroom and ground-floor accessibility.

No, the venue does not provide projectors, but professional projector solutions can be hired in. These may be pricey and will almost certainly cost more than the unit hire.

Yes, paintings can be nailed to the wooden walls; screws with a drill are better, and no-residue tape should be used for the white brick walls.
