COVID-19 CANCELLATION AND RESCHEDULE POLICY
While we are all dealing with the effects of the coronavirus(COVID-19), we want to update you on our updated policy for cancellation and rescheduling events for those who booked our venue before 18th March 2020. Read the full policy here.
What has changed:
Whilst our standard booking terms and conditions include a 20% non refundable deposit, we accept that these are truly tough times for many and we wish to be as flexible as we can with our event hires who have been affected. The follow options for cancellation/rescheduling now apply:
Cancellation:
GCA will return any monies paid less a £30 standard booking fee
Reschedule/Postponement:
GCA will retain monies paid (equal to but no more than standard 20% deposit)
12 month period for rescheduling event
Fixed 2020 venue hire rates
Hiring the venue from July/August onward:
As the Government begins to ease Lockdown we are looking at safe and manageable ways the centre can reopen to those who wish to hire. It is still uncertain when we will be able to open our doors for events again, but reserving the venue for the remainder of the year will be available soon along with updated terms and and conditions of use under COVID-19 restrictions

Over the past couple of years, the centre and its gardens have been used as a location for occasional photoshoots and a music video; Moaning Lisa Smile by Grammy nominees, Wolf Alice. From May to September 2016 we hosted the cast and crew of E4's Stage School who used our hall, gym and corridors for filming. Click here to see our gardens on the Smudgetikka Kids Fashion Blog.
