Cafédral is café situated in a long room, with large windows on one side so it can't go to "Black". You enter via 2 short sets of stairs from the pavement level and then 3 internal flights up to the café / venue.
The entrance and café counter are at one end, the performance area is at the other.
There is very little, essentially no, off stage or green room facilities.
There is simple ambient lighting in the performance area and a good PA.
Your own technician (or friend) would be helpful to control sound and lights but we are happy to supply someone.
Entrance and cafe counter. (Photos during performance to come!)
Performance space It’s the end of a cafe visible in the photos. There is a small store cupboard usable by performers immediately adjacent. Lighting and PA will be simple. Some additional resources like a piano could be considered but extensive set or props are unlikely to work.

Minimal "off stage" cupboard.
