Hire questions
Can we bring our own drinks?
There’s no need: coffee, karak, tea, fresh juice and our house sodas come with every package. Birthday cakes are welcome.
Can we bring our own food?
Yes, for the whole place. For the café and studio packages our kitchen does sharing boards from AED 65 a head and cakes by order.
Is it accessible?
Step-free throughout the ground floor, with an accessible toilet. The studio has one wheel with an adjustable seat.
What’s the cancellation policy?
Deposits are refunded in full up to 14 days before. After that, we can move your date once.
We hired the whole place for our agency’s end-of-year night. Forty of us, a throwing demo from Ailsa and better coffee than any work do has a right to.
