Our house is your house, so please be respectful but make yourself at home. We are a small independent community interest company in partnership with a charity without external funding.

Promoting Your Event
The Dream Machine are not responsible for the attendance of your event however we want to support you where we can and ensure you get the most out of your time here. We are happy to share any posters or promotional materials you have. We would recommend getting posters made as far enough in advance as possible. Posters should generally include the venue location, ticket price and dates and times. If having a BYOB event it is also useful to advertise this on the poster. Please make it clear when sharing your poster that you, the organiser, are to be contacted about the event and not The Dream Machine directly. Please tag us @dreammachinescot and we will happily reshare your content. Please also feel free to send over any content taken to our Booking Manager Alex after your event and she will share content on our socials. Her email is alex@dreammachineproductions.org. We would also love it if you could leave a review on our google page or pass on any feedback from your event!

EMERGENCY PROCEDURES
In the event of a fire, an alarm will sound throughout the building. If you are in a noisy area and can't hear the alarm, look for the red emergency flashing strobe on the ceiling of your space. Please don't mistake it for a disco light. If the alarm goes off, calmly stop all activity and make your way to the nearest exit. The emergency exits will be clearly marked with an emergency light above the door. Do not try to put out the fire with extinguishers unless you are trained to do so. Your only job is to evacuate the building. The assembly point in case of a fire is at the corner of the car park on BAIN ST. If you feel unsafe or there is a security issue, please alert a member of staff. If there is no staff present at the moment, call the Duty Manager. If there is an ongoing crime or act of violence, call the police right away. Please note that all areas are under CCTV at all times. In case of tech issues, such as lighting or projections suddenly failing mid-booking and no staff is immediately present, you can contact Matt via WhatsApp or email, and he will be able to troubleshoot the issue remotely.
