Are you charging the right amount for your venue hire?

Pricing your venue is one of the trickiest things to get right. Too low and you can't cover costs; too high and you price out the community you're trying to serve.

This guide takes the guesswork out of it, using real benchmarked data from hundreds of community spaces across urban, suburban, and rural areas. From hourly rates to add-ons like AV equipment and casual versus regular hire, it gives you a clear, data-backed starting point for your own pricing.

You will learn:

• What other venues are actually charging. Benchmarked pricing data from across the SpacetoCo network, so you can see where your rates sit relative to comparable spaces and make informed decisions.
• How to structure your pricing tiers. Practical guidance on setting different rates for casual and regular hirers, and how to think about concession or community pricing without underselling your space.
• What to charge for extras. Clear direction on pricing add-ons like AV equipment, tea and coffee, and other inclusions, so nothing gets overlooked when you're building out your hire packages.
