APPLICATION FORM

***For a limited time only, we are offering 15% off of booking fees in the Ballroom Gallery for 2025! Please quote this promotion in the proposal box of the Application Form and we will deduct 15% from the price listed in the booking planner if your requested dates are accepted.  This promotion is for Ballroom bookings received before the 31st December 2024 and does not extend to bookings made in the Courtyard Gallery***

BallroomArts receives many applications to hire one or both galleries, so the information you provide here is essential to help us to consider your show and preferred dates. Please provide a proposal with information about your work (and your fellow artists if you are planning a group show), along with website and social media addresses.  As the Lead Licensee, you will be responsible for all booking and show administration.  Please read the Terms and Conditions prior to completing your booking application.

The booking week starts on Wednesday 12.30pm and ends on the following Tuesday by 10pm.

Please note: Booking dates and rates are subject to change.

All booking enquiries are welcome at any point.

We will endeavour to honour your requested dates, which we will confirm at the beginning of each quarter (Jan, Apr, Jul, Oct) 9 months ahead of the booking date, once we have allocated all booking requests.

VAT is added to rental rates. 

We reserve the right to reconsider your booking if your proposal changes significantly and/or to delay a decision until all participants in a group show are confirmed.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS FOR HIRE AT BALLROOM ARTS

The terms and conditions set out below apply to the hire of The Ballroom and / or the Courtyard Gallery at BallroomArts. The term ‘the venue’ is used throughout to refer to the hire of both The Ballroom and the Courtyard Gallery.  These Terms and Conditions and the BallroomArts Booking Form together constitute an Agreement between the Licensee, as named on the Booking Form and Urban Resolve Ltd, owner and manager of BallroomArts, the Licensor.

General: The Licensee agrees to hire the venue on the dates and for the purposes agreed and set out in the Booking Form and in accordance with the terms and conditions outlined below.

Purpose of Hire: The purpose of the hire as agreed with the Selection Team is stated in the Booking Form. Any change will need to be agreed with Urban Resolve Ltd.

Fees and Payment Terms: Weekly hire rates plus VAT are as stated on www.ballroomarts.org. When a provisional booking request is approved by the Selection Team, the named Licensee will receive a Booking Form, an invoice for 50% plus VAT of the hire fee which must be paid within 7 days to secure the booking and a copy of the Terms and Conditions.

A second invoice for the balance of the hire fee plus VAT will be issued 3 weeks prior to the start date of the hire period and must be paid 7 days before the hire period commences. Overdue accounts will be charged at 4% per week. A refundable damage deposit of £100 will be charged to you via a PayPal invoice and will be issued by Zoe Cosgrove, Gallery Manageress in the week before you set-up.

ALL payments must be made to Urban Resolve Ltd via BACS Transfer in £GB. We do not accept cheques for payment.

CANCELLATION – If the Licensee cancels the Agreement, for reasons other than force majeure within six weeks of the booking start date, a cancellation fee of 100% will be payable.  Urban Resolve Ltd will have no liability to the Licensee to the extent it is prevented from making The Ballroom and/or the Courtyard Gallery available during the whole or part of the hire period due to circumstances beyond its control.

Urban Resolve Ltd reserves the right to cancel a sole exhibition in the Courtyard gallery should a booking for the whole building be received for those dates however will give a minimum of 4 months’ notice to the previous Licensee or the option to hire the whole building at a favourable rate.  If the Licensee does not wish to do this, alternative dates and prices will be offered or a full refund of the deposit given.  Assurance that the new dates will not be moved cannot be given.

COVID COMPLIANCE – Both BallroomArts and the Licensee are responsible for complying with regulations set by the UK government during the hire period. Should Covid guidelines dictate BallroomArts must close during the hire period, the Licensee will be refunded in full for any payments made.

LICENSE AGREEMENT – The Licensee must have the full right and authority to enter into the Agreement, as a sole exhibitor or as the principal representative of a group. The venue will be available exclusively to the Licensee during the booking period unless otherwise agreed. The Licensee commits to not transferring the License Agreement or subletting the venue.

Licensees are responsible for all staffing and equipment requirements during the hire period.

A contact name and number will be made available to the Licensee for the booking period for instruction or on-site support for any disruption or faults to the facilities and services included in the License Agreement.

BallroomArts venue instructions manuals will be available on site.

The Licensee is responsible for securing a Recorded and Live Music license and/or a license to sell alcohol. See www.gov.uk/temporary-events-notice for details.

When The Ballroom and the Courtyard Gallery are hired by separate licensees over the same booking period, both parties will show respect and consideration for the use of all shared facilities.

INSURANCE – BallroomArts is covered by public liability insurance.

The Licensee or principal representative of a group must show proof of insurance against theft and third party liability for all artworks, stock and equipment brought into the venue and for equipment provided by BallroomArts, with the signing of the Booking Form.  The Licensee is responsible for their actions.
