We will help promote your show by: Listing your event on our website, sharing your event to our mailing list, on social media and on our printed monthly listings flyer, printing posters (design provided by you) for inside and outside The Rose Hill and laminate one for our poster archive, send you a promo support email with event links which you can share with all performing artists.
We expect you to: Fill out our event submission form for us to get it on our website, create at least 1 collab post on Instagram which we will accept and share to stories, create a Facebook event page (if you use FB or we will do that for you), design a poster, actively promote the show and stay in touch about how tickets are selling (if sold externally) so we can work as a team to make the show a success!
Cancellation fee: We are a small grassroots venue which means we cannot afford to take the hit entirely for cancelled events. The fees below help contribute to these costs so we can keep our doors open!
If you cancel an event with less than 30 days notice you will have to pay a cancellation fee of £180 (£150 for film screenings). If cancellation is made within 14 days of the event then a cancellation fee of £320 (£200 for film screenings) applies.
These fees cover our sound person and are a contribution towards bar staff and lost venue income. Thanks for your understanding.
