Common Party Venue Hire Questions
How many guests can Phoenix Cabaret hold?
Our space can hold up to 130 guests with cabaret-style seating. It’s perfect for medium to large events, whether that’s a corporate function, a hen’s party, a milestone birthday, or group celebrations.
For smaller bookings, we can arrange a layout that suits your numbers without making the space feel empty. No matter the size of your event, you can count on us to deliver a lively, entertaining atmosphere.
Can I book the venue on a weeknight?
Yes, absolutely! Weeknight function room hire is popular for corporate events, team celebrations, and midweek functions where you’d prefer exclusive use of the space.
How far in advance should I book your venue for private hire?
We recommend booking at least 1-2 months ahead of your event, especially for Friday and Saturday nights or during peak seasons like November and December.
Corporate end-of-year functions and hen’s party bookings fill fast, so the earlier you get in touch to book, the more flexibility you’ll have with dates and customisation to ensure your event is as fabulous as possible!
