What does dry hire at Kindred include?

Dry hire includes exclusive access to the agreed space or whole building, basic furniture in situ, power and lighting, WiFi, an on-site duty manager throughout the booking, and use of toilets and back-of-house. Client brings catering, AV, styling, additional furniture and any specialist equipment.

How many people can Kindred host on a dry hire basis?

Up to 300 people across the whole building. The Hall on the first floor holds around 200 standing or 120 theatre-style. The Library and Salon Bar on the top floor add around 100 standing. Cellar at Kindred on the ground floor adds further capacity. The exact mix depends on which spaces are hired and what they are used for.

Can I bring my own caterer to Kindred?

Yes, that is the nature of dry hire. The events team can share a list of caterers familiar with the building if you do not have one already. Kindred is fully accessible for catering deliveries and has back-of-house space for plating and service. Cellar at Kindred is also available if you change your mind and want catering managed in-house.

Is Kindred suitable for film and photo production?

Yes. The building is a Grade II listed Baroque mansion with original early eighteenth century panelling, a Hall with high arched windows and a raised stage, a book-lined Library, a Salon Bar and a ground-floor restaurant. Productions, brand shoots, agency campaigns and editorial shoots have all hired the building. Power, lighting and rigging points are available; the events team will share a tech pack.

What are the dry hire terms at Kindred?

Hire windows are agreed per booking and include setup and breakdown time. A duty manager is on site throughout. Standard conditions cover noise curfews, supplier insurance, electrical PAT testing for production equipment, and licence requirements if alcohol is being served by a third party. The events team will share full terms with your quote.

Can Kindred be hired as a venue for a private party without your catering?

Yes, the building is available for private hire on dry hire terms as well as for full-service private events. Most weddings and corporate events use Kindred's in-house catering through Cellar at Kindred. Dry hire works for clients who already have a preferred caterer or production partner.
