When to bring them in
Consider the space when the setting is part of the invitation: a workshop, creative conversation or small gathering may benefit from art, people and visible making around it. Choose it for the purpose of the session, not only for novelty.
What you can buy
The meeting room seats up to 12 and includes a whiteboard and basic furnishings. The gallery can host events, workshops and exhibitions. Studios serve an ongoing creative practice, subject to availability and application. Frida’s Coffee House offers a more informal place to meet or work.
How an engagement works
Choose the meeting room booking route, enquire about gallery hire or apply for a studio. Confirm the actual capacity, layout, facilities and any proposal approval for your use before inviting participants.
Why it’s in the Directory
It offers an alternative to a blank meeting room for work that benefits from a cultural setting. Its different spaces let you match the room to the gathering rather than assume one format suits every event.
Questions to settle before you engage
Check VAT and total cost, cancellation, accessibility, furniture and equipment, Wi-Fi, privacy and noise, food or licensing, parking and loading. Ask about staffing for out-of-hours use and whether photography at events affects your participants.
Cost and commitment
The meeting room is currently listed at £36 per hour plus VAT. Confirm current gallery and studio rates, availability and any additional staffing charges for the arrangement you need.
