If you would like to use either area, or both, please speak with Rochelle Management as they keep a diary of both internal and external hires.

The Hall and Lawn are offered to tenants at exclusive rates on the basis it is for a tenant’s direct use and not for events produced in conjunction with a third-party.

Use of the Hall and Lawn fall into two categories:

1. Public Facing Events: suitable Mon-Fri after working hours and anytime Sat-Sun.

• Events that involve guests or an invited audience.

2. In House Activities: suitable any time during Rochelle open hours.

• Activities that form part of your day-to-day working practice such as temporary overspill area, photo shoot, layout space…

NOISE

Acoustic screens are available to surround the hired zone in the Hall for greater privacy.

Depending on the time of day, noise restrictions may apply to your event.

IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND

Events produced in conjunction with a third-party company or individual are not treated as tenant events and may incur additional fees.
