Make It Sustainable Ltd Hire Policy

Our values

The Old Print Works is a locally-rooted global community that believes in the transformative power of making, art and skill sharing towards a resilient, sustainable and cooperative future.

We stand for sustainability, global human rights and equity for all, and prioritise events and partnerships that use the arts to promote these values, nurture experimentation and build understanding. We are committed to providing a safe space for our local community to explore creativity, exchange ideas and grow.

Anyone organising or participating in events or working at The Old Print Works must be respectful to and about others and should be mindful of our very diverse community. We are actively anti-hate and will not tolerate hateful or discriminatory language or behaviour used at events or in their promotion. We reserve the right to refuse admittance to, or to remove, anyone who contravenes, or who appears intent on contravening, these rules of engagement.

Venue hire

A brief summary of the content of any meeting or event must be provided prior to any booking. Publicity and promotional materials and any use of The Old Print Works branding or name must be agreed in advance. We reserve the right not to host an event or to cancel venue hire at any time.

The Old Print Works is unlicensed. A Temporary Events Notice can be obtained if required. Guidance can be found at https://www.gov.uk/find-licences/temporary-events-notice. If a TEN is required, the procedure detailed in our terms and conditions should be followed.

If insurmountable objections are raised by the authorities, the event booking can be cancelled at any time up until and including the date of the event. We would therefore advise you to submit your TEN in plenty of time.

All events will be approved on a case-by-case basis. Hirers must agree to our terms and conditions.

Where large music events are proposed, a full risk assessment will be required.
