External Costs

The total cost of your booking is made up of the following charges:

Mandatory Charges

Venue Hire

This is dependent upon the type and size of venue. Larger venues with more extensive Audio Visual facilities are naturally more expensive to hire than smaller rooms.

Venues are hired out on flat half day (up to four hours) and full day rates.

More information on Venue Hire costs.

Building Supervision

It is necessary to have a building supervisor present to provide security for your event, and to assist with any queries that you may have on the day. Building supervision costs are charged on a flat rate up until 8pm, and then by the hour.

Voluntary Costs

Equipment Hire

A limited number of Trestle Tables, Poster Boards and Urns are available to hire for a moderate fee - just indicate how many you would like for your event when filling out the booking form. The Venue Hiring office does not hire out any other items (beyond the equipment that comes free with the room). Some extra Audio Visual Equipment is available for Hire through Teaching Space Services.

Any other extra equipment, or extensive numbers of tables, boards or urns must be hired through an external provider.

The Venue Hiring office will contact you to advise if this is necessary after you have booked your event.

Audio Visual Technician

Our office generally recommends that the advice provided by the building supervisor on audio visual issues will be adequate. If you feel however that you may need more complex and professional assistance, then you may wish to acquire the services of an audio visual technician.

More information on Audio Visual technicians can be found on the Teaching Space Services web pages.

Cleaning

University spaces are generally cleaned in the early morning. If you would like to have the space cleaned prior to your event in the evening, please make sure that this is noted in the appropriate section on the booking form.
