The Bookroom Cafe makes a fantastic event space and is available to hire after 5.30pm most days with rates starting from £30 (including VAT) an hour.

The hire includes use of the cafe facilities including crockery, cutlery, ice and ice buckets, and a barista will be on site throughout to serve coffee if desired (charged separately).

The space can sit 15 people at tables for a training course or meeting, 30 theatre style for readings, and up to 50 standing for launch parties etc.

Surrounded by books, the shop is an iconic venue in the heart of Kemptown Village, Brighton which is the ideal backdrop for your event.
