Rules
All packing in and out must occur during your hire period.
Main Hall is provided ‘as is’ and does not inherently include use of the circus rig or rigging equipment or apparatus, any rigging or technical labour, equipment (other than what is listed in the description) or parking.
Any items left in the space between hire periods must be discussed with our venue team. Leaving items in the space is at the hirers own risk.
Any alcohol onsite requires venue management presence. Please chat to us about this prior to your booking.
Please return the space to a tidy and organized fashion before leaving your hire. Remove personal belongings unless they are to be stored away, and stack chairs and reset equipment used. For hygienic purposes we ask groups to please keep the kitchenette tidy and wiped down. At the end of a booking, please send photos of the reset space to your booking thread on Spacetoco. It is a collective responsibility to ensure the space is maintained throughout the week for all of our groups to feel ready to go to work, rather than focusing on cleaning and resetting upon arrival.
