"Self Service chairs and tables" means that we have plenty of furniture
available but it may not be in the room you've booked. If you have special
requirements for furniture i.e. It needs to be stackable, you need more than
25 chairs etc you must advise Diorama Admin to hold furniture in advance (only
done on special occasions) other wise just come to the room incorporating set-up
time within time hired. All spaces can be left as used for the next group to
set up.
