What to consider when hiring a venue

When choosing a venue, think about:

Some venues may require additional infrastructure such as toilets, bins or lighting.

Fees, charges and bonds

Venue hire fees vary depending on:

A bond may also be required to cover any damage or post-event maintenance. All fees must be paid before your event takes place.
