What does hire cost?

A typical Attic live hire starts from £260 + VAT for standard hall hire and front-of-house engineering, plus PRS on net ticket sales. Final cost depends on your event, staffing, access and any additional production required.

Can we use a backdrop?

Yes. Backdrops fly from the upstage backdrop bar, but valid fire certification is required and all plans must be advanced before the event.

Can we bring touring rigging or follow spots?

No. There are no usable flying points for touring equipment and no suitable follow-spot position or power supply within the room.

Is there merch space?

Merchandise can be positioned in the seating area at the entrance/exit. Confirm your requirements while advancing the event so the space is planned properly.
