Booking Agreement and Charges
Our aim is to make Pie Factory Margate a vibrant and exciting place to visit and do business. We do not normally extend a booking beyond three weeks to ensure there’s something new for people to see. We will consider any arts, craft and media related event – but surprise us! We are always looking for something different (provided it is legal).
The hire fee of the gallery includes:
- Use of the gallery and its facilities from 8am Wednesday morning until 5pm on the last Tuesday of the hire.
- Listing of your event with supplied information about the exhibition, supplied image/s and supplied artist/s background on Pie Factory Margate website.
- Submission of your supplied Press Release to local newspapers and Visitor Information Centre.
We have a simple agreement that sets out what we expect of each other and the rest is up to you. Payment can be made by card or bank transfer.
A £200 loss and damages deposit is payable electronically 7 days before occupation on the first day of hire. This will be returned to you within 7 days from the end of your hire, subject to any deductions for breakages or damages.
We provide a comprehensive hanging system – please use it as we will have to charge you for holes made in our walls as well as misuse of hanging wires and hooks.
