The Process
Email or phone us with the details, duration and timing of proposed event. We will give you a provisional quote based on all the information available. A site visit is then recommended so that there is full transparency regarding the facilities. A minimum 20% deposit is required to secure the booking. Full payment is required in advance of the event.
About the Venue
The main gallery space measures 22-25m long by 4.8-7.1 m wide in plan with a ceiling height of 2.445m. There is also access to an adjacent courtyard with limited parking available for evening events with prior agreement and notice. There are limited kitchen facilities at the rear of the gallery and full toilet facilities.
The gallery is accessible to wheelchairs using a ramp that can be installed upon request at the time of entry. Once in the venue there is access to a wheelchair accessible toilet.
The gallery is equipped with 2 x small white Ikea tables, 2 x white Ikea trestle tables and 9 black padded fold-out chairs. If this is insufficient for you needs Lavit Galleru can borrow up to 80 white folding chairs or alternatively other furniture can be sourced by the customer. Lavit Gallery can provide 100 wine glasses.
Lavit Gallery operates as an exhibition space all year round so any party booking the venue should expect there to be art on the walls and/or on plinths throughout the space. Floor-based work and/or plinths can be moved in advance of an event within reason but depending on the level of disruption an extra charge may apply. All gallery facilities and artworks must be treated with the upmost care.
All events will be preceded by a welcome by the gallery staff member on duty. This will include an introduction to the organisation, the venue and its facilities.
Pricing
Pricing varies on the scale and complexity of the event, its duration, the timing in relation to normal staff hours and the disruption to the normal operations of the gallery. Below is a basic guide to pricing that is subject to change once the full details of the event have been discussed and agreed. Please note that the event durations listed below include any set-up during which the normal operations of the gallery are disrupted.

TESTIMONIALS
“Lavit Gallery provided a superb space for our function – a bright and airy room with a welcoming ambience. Gallery Director Brian was sensitive to our needs and was helpful and accommodating throughout the whole planning process and during the event itself.”
Ailsa Spindler, Project Co-ordinator (They/them/their), Gay Project, Cork
“Having shopped around for some time we were easily convinced that Lavit Gallery would be a good space for our civil ceremony. We were right and were so pleased with how our wedding ceremony went at the Lavit. Director Brian and staff were very helpful and accommodating throughout the whole planning process and during the event itself. Not only did they provide a superb space for our function in the form of a bright and airy main gallery with a welcoming ambience, the Lavit offers a truly special and intimate vaults space, where we chose to have the ceremony. We were free to decorate our space as we wished and this has given us wonderful memories of our own creative input on the day. We did not have a single complaint or worry. We would highly recommend it to anyone considering this venue.” Claire, Mother of the Bride
“We used the Lavitt Gallery recently for a team event. The space is absolutely superb, and became a talking point all by itself on the night. Brian (Gallery Director) was so helpful in the run-up to our event. Nothing was an issue. And on the night itself, Brian was the perfect host. We had a fantastic night in what is a really special event space in the middle of our city.” Brian O’Brien, Partner, 3SIXTY
