PARKING | |
| "No on-site parking. There is street parking limited to 1 hour before 18:30" | |
ACCESS | |
| "Whilst there is a loading bay outside the venue, loading equipment is a nightmare. From the street large wooden doors lead into an enclosed compound. The venue is underneath the Arts Centre. Lift or stairs - your choice - but neither is easy." | |
FACILITIES | |
| "In-house PA fitted but subject to surcharge and deployment of a sound engineer. It might be worth pursuing given the complexities of loading. A large stage approx. 10m wide with custom DJ booth stage left. Ceilings are fairly high with reasonable lighting rig." | |
| "Short extensions advised" | |
STAFF | |
| "Great staff - very friendly and helpful" | |
| Dancefloor | Permanent wooden dancefloor |
| Haze/Smoke/Pyro | Prohibited |
| Sound Limiter | None at premises |

PARKING | |
| "Awful. There is a small loading bay outside of the front courtyard. Stop here and put a loading notice in the van. Once loaded move to a city centre car park. No public parking on site at all." | |
ACCESS | |
| "Being a city centre venue the odds are stacked against mobile entertainers. From the loading bay carry the gear through a courtyard to the fire doors. Then down a steep and spiral internal stone staircase into The Cellar. Its a LONG walk." | |
FACILITIES | |
| "There is a small low level stage and a DJ booth next to the stage. Basically if the stage is free use that. If not, set up around the DJ booth. - width available: 2-3m - height clearance: 2-3m" | |
| "Short extensions (up to 5m) required" | |
STAFF | |
| "Very friendly and helpful. Head barman was very apologetic about the awful loading route but there was nothing he could really do. Staff were great." | |
| Dancefloor | Carpeted dancing area |
| Stage Area | Low permanent stage |
| Effects Lighting | Full range of in-house lighting effects |
| Haze/Smoke/Pyro | Prohibited |
| Sound Limiter | None at premises |
| Blackout | No windows |
| "This is a nice venue once youre into it with all of the kit. The staff and bouncers are very friendly but loading in / out is a chore and a half. Not a one man job - to be fair, three or four roadies are needed for a quick efficient load in. Midnight music off policy with building cleared down by 00:30. The Cellar holds around 50 - 60 guests." | |
