Built for you

Built for every kind of theatre & auditorium hire business

Amateur companies and musical societies

A community company needs the Wednesday for a bump-in, the Thursday for tech and dress, and Friday to Sunday for the run. That is one hire with one start and one end, priced once, rather than five phone calls that half get written down.

Dance schools and eisteddfods

A concert weekend brings four hundred parents and a rehearsal schedule that starts at seven in the morning. The whole weekend is committed to one hirer, so nobody in the office can quietly promise the Saturday morning to a hall booking.

Touring one-nighters

A touring act wants a single day with a truck on the dock at nine and out by eleven at night. Sell it as a named performance day at a stored figure rather than working an hourly rate out on the back of an envelope.

Conferences, AGMs and speech nights

The corporate day uses the auditorium and the foyer for catering, which is two rooms on the one job, each held in its own right and each priced for what it is.

Schedule

Three rooms, three honest diaries

The main house, the studio and the foyer hold availability separately, so a rehearsal on a dark night is revenue rather than a clash. A block that is booked runs the full length of the get-in, the show and the bump-out.

A performance day is one named block

Companies pick the block they need at a stored price rather than negotiating hours. The room is gone from the dock opening to the last case out, so nothing walks in at ten in the morning expecting a stage.

Get paid

The season quoted, signed and dated

Tech days, performance nights and technician hours go out as one written quote. The company signs from a phone, a deposit commits the dates and the balance is collected before the truck arrives.

Less admin, more bookings

Made for theatre & auditorium hire businesses

The booked block includes the bump-in

There is no automatic gap either side of a hire, and there should not be, because a get-in is not a gap, it is work you are letting someone do in your building. Build it into what you sell. A performance day is a named block with a stored price that runs from the dock opening to the last case leaving, and once it is booked the room is gone for the whole of it. The company knows what they bought and you know nothing is going to walk in at ten in the morning expecting a stage.

A season is one hire with a start and an end

A four night run is not four bookings. It is one hire with a start instant on the bump-in and an end instant on the bump-out, sitting across the calendar as the block it really is. When the company adds a matinee you extend the window rather than squeezing another booking in beside the first four and hoping the dates still line up.

The auditorium and the studio never block each other

A main house, a studio theatre, a rehearsal room and a foyer are four bookable rooms, not one venue with a shared diary. A rehearsal in the studio while the main house is dark is revenue you can only take if the two are genuinely separate, and the database refuses a second hire on a room that is already committed, so the mistake cannot be made at all.

The hire fee settled before the get-in

Send the whole thing as a written quote: the performance days, the tech day, the extra rehearsal hours, the technician. The company accepts it with a signature from a phone and it becomes a dated hire. A deposit holds the date the moment it is agreed, and the balance can be collected by card or by a payment request emailed before the truck arrives.

Common questions.

Yes, and that is the right way to do it. Set a named block such as "Performance day" at a stored price covering the hours from the dock opening to the last case out. The room is held for the full block, so the morning of a bump-in is never accidentally available to somebody else.

Set each room up as its own bookable unit. They share your booking page and your opening hours but they hold availability independently, so a rehearsal can run in the studio on a night the main house is dark, and neither room can take two hires for the same window.

It can. A hire has a start instant and an end instant and can run across several days, so a bump-in on the Wednesday and a bump-out on the Sunday night is one booking with one price. Adding a matinee means extending the window rather than creating a second, separate booking.

Yes. Take a deposit at the time of booking and the date is committed, with the balance collected by card or a payment request closer to the season. Booking volume is what you pay for rather than seats sold, so a long lead time costs you nothing extra.
