Parking:  The lower carpark is for residents only.  Clients are welcome to unload and load from the lower carpark but are asked to leave any vehicles in the upper carpark above the Bunker.

Early Load-Ins: Early load-ins are not possible. For safety / precautionary reasons since the COVID pandemic, we have staggered rehearsal start times to minimise crossover and to allow for cleaning between bookings.

Load-Outs: Until further notice, it will be necessary for you to vacate your room by the time your booking is due to finish. For example, if you have booked 6pm to 8pm, you need to be clear and loaded out of the room by 8pm to allow time for cleaning before the next client can access the room. Please allow enough time to break  down and load out.

Cancellations can be made by following the link in your confirmation email, by calling 01684 893242 (please leave a message if you get through to the answerphone) or by emailing bookings@funky-bunker.com.  Cancellations will incur a small fee to cover credit card service charges.  Late cancellations will be charged at full rate.
