Additional Prices

Use of the kitchen for light refreshments (tea/coffee, etc) is included in the charges shown but full use of the kitchen (including cooker and function crockery/cutlery) costs an extra £36.30. For some events a 'partial' charge may be applicable, depending on requirements.

The Bookings Secretary must be notified at the outset should the sale of alcohol be proposed, as specific permission and authority is necessary for which there is an additional charge of £26.50. The Hire Charges rates are subject to periodic review. Additional charges may be made for breakages and losses, and if the premises are not left clean and tidy. Further details of the Wedding Package are available on request.

A booking request may be provisionally accepted by telephone or email. Subsequently a ‘Hire Agreement’ form (containing the requested details) will be issued for signing and return (as directed on form) to the Bookings Secretary by the Hirer.

For ‘Parties’ (eg. Discos, Birthdays, Anniversaries and Wedding Receptions) and ‘Commercial’ bookings, full payment (or a significant deposit) may be required with the return of the ‘Hire Agreement’ form. Further, an additional premium may be levied to cover the unlikely eventuality of additional charges being incurred, ie. for breakages and losses, or if the premises are not left clean and tidy. In the case of a change of a booking to another date usually there will be no extra charge.
There is a NOISE LIMITER installed in the Main Hall for the satisfaction of local residents.  This is set at a maximum volume of 95 decibels.  If you go above that limit this will switch off the power to the hall and you will not be able to switch it back on again until a keyholder is called out.  This will obviously affect your enjoyment of the hall and needs to be considered strongly.  Calling out keyholders for such an occasion may result in loss of your bond in full or part.  You may wish to discuss this point before booking.
If a Hirer cancels a weekend event (including a Friday evening) less than 6 months before the event or cancels any other event less than 3 months prior to the event, a cancellation charge of up to the full amount of Hire Fee could be payable.

Bookings for rehearsals preceding performance events will attract a 25% reduction.

The Hall has a Premises Licence (which incorporates regulated entertainment, eg. music, dancing and theatre, and licensed authority for the sale of alcohol) and a Performing Right Society Ltd Licence (for musical performances). The Bookings Secretary must be notified at the outset about such proposed events. This is especially so should the sale of alcohol be requested as specific permission and authority is necessary for which there is an additional charge of £26.50.

Note: It is against the law to smoke inside the premises.
