Central Studio and Cafe Function Room

These terms and conditions outline your—and our—responsibilities when booking a function, conference, training session or meeting.

If something is not covered here, please contact us.

Bookings

After making your web booking, a manager of the function room will review your request to ensure all details are correct. If there are any issues we will contact you. If all ok, you will receive an email that confirms your booking. Please check this carefully.

You need to book all the time you require to use the facility.

The facility is available Monday to Sunday, 8am to up till 10pm. Functions held outside these times may be possible by special arrangement, but extra fees will apply. Please discuss your needs with our centre manager.

Payments

You need to pay invoices at least 4 working days before the date of the scheduled event via credit card. If payment is not received, the booking will be cancelled, and the venue made available for other customers.

Cancellations

After receiving a booking confirmation, you can still choose to cancel at no cost, providing you give at least 6 business days notice. If you cancel less than 6 business days before your booking date, you will be charged the full fee.

All cancellations must be confirmed in writing—stating the booking number, date and location—and must be received during office hours (9am–5pm).

Pricing policy

The prices quoted are current at the time of booking, but subject to change.

You must arrive and vacate the room at the times specified on the confirmation form. If you arrive early—or your function runs overtime and affects the following booking—you will be charged an hourly rate for use of the facility.
