Questions and answers
How many yoga mats fit?
About 35 mats fit comfortably in rows across the main hall, and we have 35 Nike mats available to rent.
What fitness equipment is available?
Dumbbells in 2, 3, 5 and 10 lb, 35 short resistance bands and 35 long bands, plus yoga mats. Ask for add-on pricing when you book.
Can we sell tickets or products?
Yes. Ticketed workshops, classes, concerts and pop-up shops are all welcome.
Is there Wi-Fi?
The loft runs without guest Wi-Fi, so bring a mobile hotspot for sessions that need internet. Many teams find the offline focus is part of the appeal.
Can we book a recurring class?
Yes. Book a series of dates on the booking calendar, or contact us to set up a regular weekly time.
How many guests fit at The Harlow Exchange?
Up to 50 people at any time, seated or standing. That count includes everyone in the space: guests, vendors, caterers and performers. The 3,700 square foot hall gives 50 people plenty of room to move, mingle and dance.
Can we play music?
Yes. Two Bluetooth speakers are included: a JBL speaker and an XL rolling party speaker with LED light rings. Planning a DJ, live band or dancing? Tell us when you book and we will confirm the details for your event.
Can we bring our own food, cake and desserts?
Yes. Potluck spreads, a favourite bakery, a dessert table, a family recipe: all welcome. The kitchenette and folding tables make serving simple.
Can we serve alcohol?
Yes. Private events that serve alcohol in Manitoba usually need a Social Occasion Liquor Permit from the Liquor, Gaming and Cannabis Authority of Manitoba. Your caterer or bartender can help you apply.
How long can we book?
Anywhere from one to twelve hours, in one hour blocks. Events wrap by 10pm, and cleanup can run later. If your event runs over, overtime is $250 per half hour.
How do vendors load in?
Through the rear alley. A 6 x 7 foot service elevator rises from the loading dock straight into the suite, so caterers, florists and rental companies can bring in equipment easily. Vendors load in during your booked hours.
Where do guests park?
Several public lots sit within half a block of 70 Albert Street. Street parking is free for two hours on Saturdays and free all day Sunday. The venue is two blocks from City Hall and a short walk from Portage and Main, with transit nearby.
Is the venue accessible?
The Harlow Exchange is on the second floor of an 1880 heritage building. Guests enter at the corner of Albert Street and McDermot Avenue and climb about 25 stairs. A 6 x 7 foot service elevator runs from the rear alley loading dock, which sits about 3.5 feet above the alley, so it is set up for vendor load-in. If a guest has mobility needs, call us at (204) 400-5700 before booking and we will plan it together.
