Venue hire

A “from” price is almost always the quietest day in the cheapest month. Read the conditions column before comparing numbers: some rows are bare hire, some are full packages.

Method

A rate enters this index only when the business publishes it on its own website or brochure, or supplies it to Novia directly. Each entry records the source URL and the date we last verified it. Rates are re-checked when the business updates its published pricing, and at least quarterly.
