Before booking a no-hire-fee party venue in Leicester, ask about minimum spend, covered days, guest numbers, food and drink rules, deposits and exclusions. Watson's agrees every term in writing before you confirm.
A venue with no hire fee can be great value — if you know the terms. Ask these eight questions.
- Is there a minimum spend? And how is it counted — food, drink or both?
- Which days are covered? Weekends and December often differ.
- What's the guest limit? Watson's holds up to 50.
- Do I get the whole venue or part of it? Exclusive hire is Sunday to Wednesday at Watson's; partial space Thursday to Saturday.
- Is a deposit needed? And is it refundable?
- What happens if numbers change?
- Can I bring my own music, cake or decorations?
- What's the finish time?
