Classes Hire
Booking Details
For class bookings we require the first payment to be two full months where one month is for the hire and the second month will act as a deposit for the booking.
All classes agree to move to a suitable space when required by Stanley Arts who will strive to give two weeks notice in advance of any room changes.
It is the hirer’s responsibility to give the venue two weeks notice of cancellation for the class booking, if cancellation is given in suitable time the booking fee will be carried over to a future booking.
It is the hirer’s responsibility to provide Stanley Arts with all information and requirements pertaining to the booking in good time. Stanley Arts cannot be held responsible for any unavailable services if all required information is not provided at least 4 weeks in advance of the hire.
Stanley Arts does not permit bookings to attach signage or decorations to the walls of the building. The Hirer is liable for any damage done by blu-tack, tape or any other wall fixings. Due to health and safety, no tables and chairs are allowed to be moved without members of staff present.VAT
Stanley Arts is not currently VAT-registered, therefore all invoices are exempt from VAT.
Ticketing
TicketSource charge us booking fees which amount to about 10% of the face value of the tickets. We cover some of these fees by recharging about half of them to the customer. The precise recharging is a little complex because the cost to the customer is based on the overall booking cost for all the tickets they are booking, not the individual ticket. These charges to the customer are:
Up to £5 booking – 50p booking fee
£5 to £25 booking – £1.25 booking fee
Over £25 booking – £2 booking fee
Once these charges have been used to offset some of the Ticketsource charges, generally, there is about half of the ticket charges left. For producers this means you can expect to receive about 95% of the face value of your tickets. The precise amount will vary a little depending on the profile of the ticket purchases.
Catering & Refreshments
There is some kitchen provision on site. External caterers are permitted with the permission of the management. If you are supplying your own catering, please give full details including the name and contact details of your provider.
