Phoned this place (I'm aware of the rubble... but they have 2 other units next door) and the woman managed to finish my sentence ("you're wanting to hold an exhibition style event?") and give me a firm answer of no within 20 seconds of calling.
The reasons were 'Health & Safety' - I'm guessing the other 2 units will be having maintenance work doing too. I didn't even get chance to find out how much this space could have been to rent for the night. It would have been perfect.
The problems with renting an empty space like that which isn't usually used for one off events is that I would have to find some sort of insurance, for myself, and also for public liability.
Some other places which could be good to rent...
The Packhorse - charges £10 for the night if you aren't putting on bands!! Bargain!! Thats also got me thinking about mixing this event with live music. Its also really close to college.
Another place which is close by is the upstairs area of The Library. They charge £80 if you have bands(£100 Friday & Saturday) - and £60 if you don't. Not so bargainous but reasonable!
I contacted The Common Place - but found out that they are no longer licensed and people wouldn't be able to bring their own booze and I won't be able to play music. The place is free to use though - but you have to charge a minimum of £3 entrance.
