Event Pricing
Every event is different, and pricing is tailored to suit your requirements.
Because events and functions often require additional planning and consideration, they are priced individually rather than booked through the standard self‑service system.
Booking events through the website
Event bookings cannot be confirmed through the website’s self‑service booking process.
Self‑service booking is designed for regular or straightforward bookings, such as weekly clubs or fitness sessions. Events and functions require personalised support to ensure accurate pricing and suitability.
To enquire about an event, please submit an enquiry from your chosen main event space. The BookingsPlus Admin team will review your details and follow up with further information.
How event pricing is calculated
Event pricing is based on several factors, including:
- The type of event
- The number of attendees
- The duration of the booking and time of day
- The spaces, facilities, and resources required
Each request is reviewed individually to ensure the event is appropriate for the venue.
What to include in your enquiry
To help the team provide an accurate response, please include as much of the following information as possible:
- Type of event (for example, birthday party, reception, or community meeting)
- Preferred event date and any alternative dates
- Event timings, including set‑up and clear‑up
- Maximum expected number of attendees
- Any additional spaces required beyond the main event space
- Furniture layout requirements
- Equipment needs (such as sound or lighting)
- Decoration plans
- Details of any third‑party suppliers (for example caterers, DJs, or inflatable providers)
Deposits and cancellations
Is a deposit required?
Yes. A 50% security deposit is required to secure an event booking.
The deposit is refundable provided:
- Cancellation notice is received at least 8 weeks before the event
- The event does not overrun its agreed schedule
- No damage, breakages, or excessive cleaning are required
Cancellation charges
- More than 8 weeks’ notice: no charge
- 4–8 weeks’ notice: 20% charge
- 2–4 weeks’ notice: 50% charge
- Less than 2 weeks’ notice: full booking fee charged
All cancellations must be submitted in writing by email.
Venue restrictions
As events take place within school or education‑based venues, the following restrictions apply to ensure the suitability, safety, and protection of the facilities:
- No teenage or young adult parties
- No public or ticketed events
- No kitchen access or hot food preparation on site
- No naked flames, confetti, helium balloons, or items fixed to walls or furniture
- No pyrotechnics or live music
- Alcohol is not permitted unless expressly agreed (many school venues do not allow alcohol on site)
- No footwear that may damage flooring
These guidelines help protect venues while allowing a range of appropriate events to take place.
Children’s parties
Some venues may be able to accommodate children’s parties.
Where available, this is typically offered on a set‑price basis and subject to venue‑specific criteria.
Availability, pricing, and requirements vary by venue and will be confirmed as part of the enquiry process.
What does “dry hire” mean?
“Dry hire” means the venue space is provided without additional services.
Customers are responsible for arranging all aspects of their event, including catering, decorations, furniture, equipment, and any third‑party suppliers. Supporting documentation, such as insurance and certification, may be required for external providers.
