If you’ve ever felt the urge to share what you know, this is your sign.

The whole venue for a workshop, a supper, a reading, a shoot, or a birthday. Tell us what you have in mind, and we’ll come back with the date and price.

Entire venue, no sharing

What it costs depends on the hours, the day, and what you need in the room, so we quote it rather than publish a table you’d have to decode. Send the details and you’ll get a real number back, usually the same day.

Included in every booking

  • The entire venue, with nobody else booked alongside you.
  • Tables, chairs, and floor seating, arranged how you want them.
  • Pantry corner: kettle, mugs, tea, and water.
  • Bluetooth speaker and warm, dimmable lighting.
  • Step-free entry and an accessible washroom.
  • Someone from the team on site if you need anything.

Add these if you need them

Priced with the room when we quote.

  • TablesFolding, seats four to six

Selling tickets? Ask about the revenue share

For ticketed events, we can take a share of the gate instead of a flat hire fee, which can work out better for smaller artists. Tell us what you’re planning, and we’ll walk you through both.
