Rental Agreement Terms

These terms apply when you hire one of our studios. “We” and “us” mean Laura Fisher Ltd. “You” means the person or business hiring the studio.

We agree to give you use of the studio for the purpose of holding a craft workshop, meeting or private event.

The hire fee is shown on our Studio Rental page and is payable in advance. No booking is confirmed, and no date is held, until payment has been received in full.

Any additional costs, such as utilities or equipment use, will be itemised and invoiced separately. Late payments may attract interest at 4% above the Bank of England base rate.

Due to high demand for our studios, all bookings are strictly non-refundable and non-transferable.

Once payment is made, we do not offer cancellations, date changes or refunds under any circumstances.

You must use the studio only for the agreed purpose. Please do not cause a nuisance or disruption to others using the premises, use the space for any unlawful or unauthorised purpose, or make structural changes or alterations.

Please leave the area clean and tidy, in the condition you found it, and follow all health and safety policies we provide.

You agree to follow the health and safety guidance we provide and all UK legislation. You must make sure that any staff or contractors you bring are adequately trained and work safely.

Please report any accidents, incidents or hazards to us immediately.

You must hold appropriate public liability insurance and, where applicable, product liability insurance.

Laura Fisher Ltd is not liable for any loss, damage or theft of your property. You agree to indemnify and hold harmless Laura Fisher Ltd against all claims, losses or damages arising from your use of the studio.

We do not hold a licence for the sale or service of alcohol. If you intend to serve or sell alcohol during your event, it is your sole responsibility to obtain any necessary temporary event notices (TENs) or licences, and to comply with all local laws and regulations.

We accept no liability for any issues, fines or legal actions resulting from the unlawful or unlicensed provision of alcohol on the premises.

A complimentary welcome drink is provided for your guests, with a choice from our selection of teas or coffee.

At our Basingstoke studio, any food consumed on site must be bought from our tearoom, The Parlour Tearoom. External catering and outside food are not permitted. To arrange food for your event, you can book directly at www.theparlourtearoom.co.uk.

At our Stow-on-the-Wold studio, please speak to us before bringing food for your guests.

We may end a booking immediately if you breach any material term of this agreement, cause damage to the studio, or act in a way that could bring Laura Fisher Ltd into disrepute. You must then leave the studio and remove all personal items.

You grant us the right to use any photographs or promotional content you supply for advertising or marketing, including social media, websites and printed materials.

We are not responsible for marketing individual events or workshops held in the studio. Promotion of your event remains your responsibility, and we have no obligation to advertise, endorse or promote it.

Both parties agree to keep confidential any commercially sensitive information shared in connection with this agreement. This continues after the booking ends.

Any intellectual property you create remains yours. Any collaborative work between you and Laura Fisher Ltd will be subject to a separate written agreement.

This agreement does not create a partnership, joint venture or employment relationship. It cannot be varied unless in writing and signed by both parties. If any part is found invalid or unenforceable, the rest continues in full force.

This agreement is governed by the laws of England and Wales, and any disputes are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts.
