Why We Charge a Holding Fee (and Why It’s Great Value)
When booking our venue, we believe in fairness and transparency. This means the space isn’t available for other bookings during these times, and a small holding fee applies.
Why our fee is Incredibly Affordable
Many venues charge significantly higher holding fees to cover the costs of keeping the space unavailable for others. Here’s how typical holding fees are structured across the industry:
Percentage of Full Rate: Venues often charge 50–75% of their rental rates for setup or teardown days, amounting to hundreds (or even thousands) of pounds.
Flat Fees: Holding fees are commonly set between £150 and £800 per day, depending on the venue's size and location.
Hourly Holding Fees: Some venues charge 25–50% of their hourly rates for idle time, which can quickly add up.
By comparison, our holding fee is a fraction of these standard practices. We’ve kept this fee low to ensure affordability while still accounting for the exclusive use of the venue.
