Permanent wooden dancefloor No sound limiter PAT requested No air conditioning Haze/smoke prohibited 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. STAFF: Great staff - very friendly and helpful POWER PROVISION: Short extensions advised | |||||||

29/02/2016 | The Cellar | Ground | |||||
Low permanent stage Decent house lighting rig available No sound limiter Air conditioned No windows Carpeted dancing area Haze/smoke prohibited 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 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. POWER PROVISION: Short extensions (up to 5m) required ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: "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." |
