What comes with the room

Most of what a venue lets you rent separately is already in the building. The list below is not an upsell menu.

In-house AV: Line array with four subs, twelve-channel desk, two handheld and two lavalier radio mics, a 5,000-lumen laser projector and a 16 ft screen. An operator is included for the first four hours.
Lighting: Dimmable pendants over the hall, forty LED uplights on a wireless desk, festoon in the yard, and full blackout on the north glazing for daytime screenings.
Power: 400A three-phase at the north wall with 63A and 32A distro on site — enough for a film unit without a generator in the yard.
Furniture: Twenty 60-inch rounds, twelve 8 ft trestles, 200 cross-back chairs, and a 24 ft modular stage in 8 ft sections. Set and struck by our crew, not yours.
The bar: Two service bars, licensed and staffed by us. It is exclusive — the bar is ours on every booking, and that is not negotiable because the licence is in our name.
Load-in: Twelve-foot roller door straight onto the hall floor, level with the yard. No stairs, no lift booking, no carrying a stage through a lobby.
