Terms & Conditions
These terms and conditions aim to protect all parties through a better understanding of contractual and legal obligations of both the client and The Venue when confirming a booking. Upon acceptance and confirmation of your booking with The Venue, a legally binding contract exists.
You must confirm all initial and subsequent telephone enquiries in writing. The confirmation must include all requirements. All bookings are considered provisional until both the client and The Venue have signed the contract. All bookings are subject to the terms and conditions of the contract. Once the contract is signed, this will then constitute a legally binding contract. A deposit or booking fee is required to secure your date, and prevent any other bookings being taken/accepted on your booking date(s).
Any bookings cancelled before the booking date will not be refunded. All booking fees are non-refundable.
This contract will detail the minimum numbers agreed at the time of booking. Any variation in booking, guest numbers and/or arrangements must be confirmed to The Venue in writing up to one week before the event date.
A non-refundable booking fee of 20% will be taken as confirmation of your booking and will be deducted from your total invoice.
A further deposit of £100 will be required before the event and will be held against any damage or breakages. This will be refunded to you after the event at the discretion of The Venue. In the case that The Venue does not see fit to refund this deposit you will be provided with evidence of damage/breakages within 48 hours of the event.
