What do I need to consider when renting an event space?
When planning an event there are many factors to consider in order to find the right venue. Location, catering, facilities, AV equipment, and video conferencing are all important. However, the budget is paramount as it influences your spending on extras like catering and AV equipment. Sometimes, opting for a dry hire venue, where you can bring your own catering or opt for external caterers, can be a cost-effective solution.

How can I tell whether I need an event space or a
meeting room?
Determining whether you need an
event space
or a
meeting room
depends on the nature and scale of your event. For small, intimate gatherings where space requirements are minimal, a meeting room might be more suitable and cost-effective. Meeting spaces can often be hired by the hour, making them a flexible option for shorter engagements. This is particularly beneficial for small business meetings, interviews, training sessions, or team brainstorming sessions where the space and time requirements are limited. We offer a variety of meeting room options on our coworking search making meeting room booking and
meeting room hire
simple and flexible. For larger gatherings such as conferences, seminars, workshops, or social events, an event space is more appropriate. Event spaces accommodate more attendees and offer extensive facilities like stages, larger seating areas, catering, and advanced AV equipment. They support a broader range of activities, ensuring a seamless experience for hosts and guests. Our expertise in both event spaces and meeting rooms allows us to cater to diverse needs, offering tailored solutions for any event size.
