Equipment Hire

If you require theatrical lighting/sound during your hire in Studio 10 or Studio 12, you will be charged an additional £7.50 (non-members) / £6 (members) plus VAT per hour on top of the base hire. 

A member of Theatre Deli staff will induct you on how to use the workers, emergency lighting, lighting desk and sound desk at the start of your booking. They will show you how to power up/down, bring the standard stage lights up and down, connect the projector, use a microphone and/or play music/sound via an aux cable. 

They will NOT be able to support you in operating the equipment. If you are not able to achieve the desired results in your rehearsal, please advise Theatre Deli staff during your session, and they will remove the equipment hire from your booking. They will NOT be able to remove this from your booking once your session has ended. 

Invited Audiences & Ticketed Events

If you are planning on inviting an audience of 6 or more non-company members during the day or evening, you will need to make arrangements for this in advance so that we can ensure your guests are safe and provided a warm welcome.  

An additional one-off charge applies. 

For invited audiences: £35+VAT (non-members) / £30+VAT (members) 

For ticketed events: £60+VAT (non-members) / £50+VAT (members)

• Ensure your seating layout is safe for fire evacuation and run through a Health and Safety checklist

Hire the Theatre Deli Bar and Cafe

We’d love to host your event in our bar. We can accommodate non-exclusive uses of our bar space for events such as open mic nights, poetry slams, comedy, gigs, cabaret, and quizzes. If you are able to confidently draw an audience of 20-40 people for an evening, we can accommodate this for no charge. 

If you want to arrange a non-exclusive event, exclusive hire of the bar with a minimum spend or a bar tab, or for more information about logistics or equipment please contact our Bar Manager at [email protected].
