RULES & POLICIES
• Set-Up & Clearing: Set-up, use and clearing away must take place entirely within your booked time slot. Additional charges may apply for exceeding the booked time and deducted from your deposit.

• Deposit: A separate £250 refundable deposit (£500 for Studio hire) must be paid directly to us prior to your hire date. This deposit will hold the date for you and be returned after the hire, provided the space, fixtures and equipment are left in their original condition. Any damage, staining or if excessive cleaning is required, this will result in an additional charge, which will be deducted from the deposit. Where costs exceed £250/£500, the hirer is responsible for the remaining balance.

• Decorations: Decorations are welcome, but nothing may be attached to walls. Anything fixed to windows or partition doors must not leave marks, adhesive residue or cause damage. Loose balloons and confetti are not permitted. Any resulting damage or residue will be charged and deducted from the deposit.

• Food & Drink: The Lounge and Studio have a strict no food/drink policy. Breach of this policy will result in an additional cleaning charge, which will be deducted from the deposit.

• Smoking: Smoking, vaping and e-cigarettes are strictly prohibited inside the building.

• Visitors: All visitors must sign in on arrival and sign out before leaving. The hirer is responsible for ensuring their guests comply with these rules.

Beautiful, and clean space. Organisers were pleasant to work with and quick at responding. Great location central and only a few mins walk from underground
I wish the space is larger.

This is a beautifully maintained, light, welcoming space run by super helpful team. The communication before our event was excellent. The team tried hard to answer all our questions. Catering was provided for our event which was delicious. I would happily organise another event at Melanin.
We didn't receive any suggestions of things to improve in terms of the venue - everyone who attended seemed to find it very comfortable.
