Stage the production on paper before the visit
Provide dimensions, scenery, cast numbers, entrances and technical requirements, then ask for an accurate stage and seating plan. Check wing space, crossover, floor, rigging, sightlines and accessible stage routes. The audience capacity may change with thrust staging, a production desk or camera positions. If the venue is not a conventional theatre, identify how performers reach the acting area without crossing public queues or unsafe equipment zones.
Schedule rehearsal, show and audience operations
Confirm get-in, focus, soundcheck, rehearsal, doors, interval, curfew and get-out with required technicians and front-of-house staff. Ask about dressing rooms, toilets, laundry, storage and company access between sessions. Establish ticketing, bar, merchandise, licensing and safeguarding responsibilities. For several performances, discuss the security of installed scenery and whether other users share the building, then document who may change technical settings between shows.
How much does a performance venue in London cost?
For the London listings shown here, hourly hire ranges from £15 to £147/hour and a typical listed hourly price is around £49/hour. Prices vary by date, time, facilities and booking rules, so compare the live price information on each listing before booking.

Can we sell tickets at a hired performance venue?
Often, under agreed capacity, licensing and box-office terms. Decide who controls sales, customer data, fees, refunds, front of house and financial reconciliation before launch.
