This process ensures that all cultural considerations are appropriately addressed. We reserve the right to decline bookings where we cannot meet the cultural requirements.

Catering and other logistics

Note that as a staff/student, you must use a university-approved supplier to cater for your event.

Please have a conversation with your caterer, sometimes they require early access and use of the kitchen before your event starts. This may not always be possible and could change access and hire fees for your event.
