Questions

Good to know.

How many guests fit?

Up to 200 guests across the full venue. For a cocktail-style event, 100 to 150 guests is the most comfortable. Smaller groups can book a single room.

Is there a minimum booking?

Yes, the Stage and Lounge book for a minimum of four hours and the Vault and Forge for three. Full-day and multi-day bookings are welcome.

Can we bring our own caterer?

Yes. We do not offer in-house catering, so you bring the caterer you like, and we are happy to share a list of preferred caterers. They can use the full kitchen on site.

How do we hold a date?

Once you have your quote and agreement, a non-refundable deposit of one-third of the venue fee secures the date.

Pop-ups and installations?

Yes. Brand activations, retail pop-ups and exhibitions book by the day, week or month, including load-in and strike days. Longer bookings use their own agreement and insurance terms.

Do we need event insurance?

Some events and all installations require a certificate of event insurance. We will confirm what applies when we send your quote.

Can we see the space first?

Please do. Walkthroughs are by appointment; send your date through the form or call us and we will set a time.
