Make It Sustainable Ltd Hire Policy

We are committed to providing an areligious, apolitical space where topics of interest to our local community can be safely and respectfully discussed. We believe this is in the public interest.

We are actively anti-hate and will not tolerate hateful or discriminatory language used at events or in their promotion.

Anyone organising or participating in events must be respectful to and about others and should be mindful of our very diverse community.

We reserve the right to refuse admittance to, or to remove, anyone who contravenes, or who appears intent on contravening, these rules of engagement.

Where a Temporary Event Notice is required[1], the following procedure should be followed

1)     A hire agreement is made with Make It Sustainable Ltd and deposit is paid confirming this before any TEN is submitted.

2)     A TEN is applied for at least 12 working days in advance of the event.

3)     A copy of the TEN is sent to info@oldprintworks.org.

4)     Confirmation of the notice of submission and any further correspondence is shared promptly with MIS.

5)     The TEN is displayed on the night as per regulations.

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

Where large music events are proposed:

All events will be approved on a case-by-case basis. A full risk assessment will be required.
