terms
Our standard hire fee is 40% of gross box office receipts, with a minimum guarantee
payable to us in advance. You will also need to pay a Fringe Programme entry fee. The amount of the guarantee is based upon the size of space, the time length of your slot, the time of day of your slot, and the weeks that your slot runs for. Hire is subject to our standard terms and conditions which are available on request.

The guarantee is normally payable to us in three instalments: the first instalment on confirming your booking, the second instalment in April, and the final instalment in July.

We offer discounts on guarantee prices to companies performing for the full run of the Festival. We recommend you consider a full run if at all possible, but we are happy to work with the dates that you are available. We do not limit companies to performing at fixed slot times of one or two hours, but base the timing of each performance space’s day on the length of the productions programmed. Because of this, we do not finalise start times when we offer a slot. Instead we offer a slot within a start time zone, and we confirm times after the Fringe Office programme entry deadline.

Reduced guarantee prices are available to companies performing more than one production in our venues and also to companies who have performed at C before, providing that applications are submitted by the end of February.

Monies taken at our venue box offices are banked by us into a dedicated clients’ account. Monies from the Fringe box office are paid over to us by the Fringe Office after the Festival. We aim to settle with companies one month after receiving final funds from the Fringe Office, paying over your box office receipts in full, less any sums due to us or deducted by the Fringe.

Our policy is to include a full standard package of theatre facilities and services in our standard hire fee, available to all visiting companies at no extra cost. Any additional charges incurred by you, such as those for reprographics, telephone calls, additional lighting and sound equipment, technicians to operate your show or stewards, will be in accordance with our tariff or as agreed mutually in advance.

to view the venues
You are welcome to view the buildings that we use for our venues prior to the Festival where possible. The venues are generally available to view on the day of the Fringe Office's Edinburgh roadshows, and it may be possible to arrange viewing on other days subject to venue and landlord availabilty.

To arrange a viewing or for more information on any of the venues or spaces, please contact the C venues office in London on +44 (0)845 260 1010

Viewing the buildings may be of help in getting the feel of our performance spaces, but please bear in mind that most of our theatres and front of house facilities are not set up, so all you will be able to see is empty rooms and halls.
