Booking The Hall
For private hire (eg parties, wedding receptions), and business use:
Check our Events calendar on our website to see what times are available, and then contact our Bookings Clerk via email or phone to check that your required slot is still available.
Once the Bookings Clerk has checked that the slot is available, download the Hiring Agreement and Standard Conditions of Hire document from our website, fill it in and sign it, and send it to the Bookings Clerk for them to approve and countersign. The Booking Clerk may need to discuss your booking and ask additional questions. If it all looks ok, the Booking Clerk will countersign and return a copy of your agreement to you, and will send you the invoice. Please note that we require full payment of the invoice up front (together with the refundable damages bond if applicable). The booking cannot be confirmed by the Clerk until they have received both the signed Hiring Agreement and full payment of the invoice from you.
​
Please note that you must also read the following documents which are published on our website as they form part of the Hiring Agreement:
You should also read:
-
Public Liability Insurance – non commercial hirers who do not have their own public liability insurance can benefit from our Hirers public liability insurance cover. A copy of this document is also published on our website.
If you are intending to run a licensed bar at your event, or have music after 11pm, please discuss this first with the Bookings Clerk. The hall is not licensed for the sale of alcohol, and we do not have a premises licence. We are limited to the number of Temporary Event Licences (TENS) available for the year.
​
(Paper copies of the Hiring Agreement and Conditions of Hire, and associated documents are also available from the entrance area of the hall).
​
Cancellations - in the event of you having to cancel your booking, we will operate a sliding scale for repayment:
-
If you give us at least a months notice we will give you a full refund
