About this venue
The Unity Room is a small FETRA hall on the Finsbury Estate, used mainly for tenant and resident association meetings. FETRA also allows hire for activities or training that are free and open to estate residents, and for children's parties by residents and others within certain hours, at committee discretion. Its linked management document records 2016 indicative rates of £5 per hour for residents and £10 per hour for non-residents; confirm current rates, eligibility and booking times with FETRA. The documented fire-regulation maximum is 50 people. Estate parking is not available to hirers or guests, alcohol may not be sold, and music must end by 7pm. A FETRA page says the room is wheelchair accessible; confirm the current access route before booking.
