Capacities run from 4 to 80 people. The venue is an art gallery, cinema and creative technology center at 88 Wood Street, and its dedicated events team handles hire.
Seminars and company events
Business groups can choose between four formats. The Meeting Room holds 14 people and has integrated technology for video conferencing and presentations. The Lab, the core room of the Studio/Lab floor, holds 20 to 30 people and is set up for workshops, creative meetings and large-group work. The Box cinema screen holds 50 to 80 people and can be arranged in several layouts, which suits a keynote, a private screening or an all-hands.
The venue states that every room has high-speed internet, audio-visual equipment and air conditioning. Its events team can provide full technical support, and the booking form lets you declare the type of event, from an expo or festival to a corporate event or a meeting.
Rooms and capacities
The Box is described as a boutique cinema screen with a capacity of 50 to 80. The Meeting Room takes 14. The Lab takes 20 to 30. The Sound Studio, an acoustically treated recording room used for voiceover, Foley or livestreaming, takes 5. The Film Edit Studio takes 4.
Studio/Lab can also be hired as a whole. It combines several rooms for meetings, workshops and breakouts with a kitchen and a lounge, so a group can use the entire floor for a day of sessions with space to rest between them.
