Mannequin Mouth, October 2022

Studio 10: £29 (non-members) / £22 (members) per hour

Studio 12: £33 (non-members) / £25 (members) per hour

Studio 12: £110 (non-members) / £85 (members) per 3 hour slot (6-9pm/7-10pm)

Equipment Hire

If you require theatrical lighting/sound during your hire in Studio 10, Studio 12 or "Next Door", you will be charged an additional £9 (non-members) / £7.20 (members) plus VAT per hour on top of the base hire. 

A member of Theatre Deli staff will induct you on how to use the working light, emergency lighting, lighting desk and sound desk at the start of your booking. They will show you how to power up/down, bring the standard stage lights up and down, connect the projector, use a microphone and/or play music/sound via an aux cable. 

They will NOT be able to support you in operating the equipment further. If you are not able to achieve the desired results in your rehearsal, please advise Theatre Deli staff during your session, and they will remove the equipment hire from your booking. They will NOT be able to remove this from your booking once your session has ended. 

Invited Audiences & Ticketed Events

If you are planning on inviting an audience of 6 or more non-company members during the day or evening, you will need to make arrangements for this in advance so that we can ensure your guests are safe and provided a warm welcome.  

An additional one-off charge applies. 

For invited audiences: £42+VAT (non-members) / £36+VAT (members) 

For ticketed events: £72+VAT (non-members) / £50+VAT (members)

Details

Theatre Deli will:

  • Provide a brief tech induction as above along with safe evacuation instruction
  • Ensure your seating layout is safe for fire evacuation and run through a Health and Safety checklist 
  • Greet your guests and ask them to wait in the bar when they arrive. 

Theatre Deli will not:

  • Operate technical equipment. This will need to be performed by a member or your team, or a specially hired technician. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to find you a technician for your show or sharing and always recommend you find your own Stage Manager, but we can make enquiries to see if any of our freelance technicians are available.
  • Run the Box Office. You are responsible for your ticketing.
  • Make welcome announcements, content warnings, or open the house. You will need your own Front of House person to do these for you. 
  • Allow its logo or other branding elements to be used in your promotional materials.
  • Permit any use of naked flame, smoking or pyrotechnics during your performance.

Please be aware with all non-programmed activity that Theatre Deli is a busy building with multiple rehearsals, classes and events taking place simultaneously during our opening hours. We cannot guarantee complete quiet during your rehearsal, sharing or performance. 

Please contact [email protected] to make arrangements. We require at least one week’s notice for use of tech equipment, and at least two week’s notice for invited audiences/ticketed events.
