Where can I park?
Please see the parking info above.
Is there a space for me to store my things and get changed?
Please liase with the couple and ensure they are happy for you to use their dressing rooms if needed.

How much space do I have to set up?
We're not a massive venue, we usually ask that bands and DJs keep their set up to 2x3 meters depending on the guest numbers.
What time does music finish?
Our license means that music must finish by 11pm. If the couple have a 12 hour hire (or less) their finish time may be earlier.
Does the venue need anything from me?
Your arrival time, your start time, and a copy of your public liability insurance. Your equipment must also be PAT tested. We would need these details 4 weeks before the event.
