FAQs
How can I pay for my Deposit & Booking?
Bank Transfer (BACS) - details will be sent to you
Is the hall suitable for weddings/18th birthday parties etc?
Not really as we have a NO alcohol policy in the hall, as the hall is surrounded by houses. Neighbours would complain about the noise and the late coming and goings.
Where do I put my rubbish?
All your rubbish MUST be taken with you when you leave. We do not supply black sacks so bring your own.
What equipment is in the kitchen?
We have an electric cooker, fridge, freezer, microwave, kettle and an urn. Plenty of cups/saucers - but bring your own washing up liquid and tea towels.
How much time is allowed for set up and clearing up?
You must allow for any setting up/clearing up in your booked time. So you must add as much time as you think you need to your booking.
Can I have a bouncy castle?
Yes, but it is the responsibility of the hirer to ensure the ante use of such equipment is properly insured.
How do I gain access to the hall?
Once the booking is confirmed and paid for, you will be emailed a main door access code - for your use only
Can I play music or have a disco?
Yes to both. We also have a built in sound system with CD player with Bluetooth and USB connectivity to hire. Play your own music over the hall speakers. (See our hire rates page)
When and how do I get back my refundable deposit?
A BACS refund will be provided within 14 days of your party/event. This allows us to check for any damage to the hall & CCTV as appropriate.
How do I know you have my booking?
You can check our online calendar and you will have received a confirmation of your booking by email.
When do I need to pay the balance of my booking?
28 days prior to the event and don't forget the refundable damage deposit
