Rates and Booking

What does it cost?

Fees to hire the hall and (if required) the licensed bar are listed at the bottom of this page.

Note: In addition to the hire fees, a separate refundable damage deposit of £100 is required, and both must be paid in advance of the hire date to secure a booking.

What to do if you are thinking of booking?

If you’re thinking of hiring our hall, you will probably have a bunch of questions. Most if not all of these will likely be answered on our Frequently Asked Questions page, so please look at that first, before getting in touch with us. Also, before booking, you should read the Terms & Conditions that apply to all bookings and make sure you understand them. When you sign a booking form, you will be agreeing to comply with these T&Cs.

To make a booking, please follow these 5 simple steps:

1. Check availability of your preferred date and time using our Availability Calendar.
2. Register your interest by email to our bookings officer. If your preferred slot appears available and you wish to progress, use the email enquiry form below to register your interest. Our bookings officer will reply to confirm whether it is available and, if it is, reserve it for you as a tentative booking. (There’s a small chance that we have recently had another enquiry for the same date which is still being processed, hence the need to check.)
3. Download, complete and sign the booking form(s). Note that there are two separate booking forms: a hall booking form which applies to all bookings, and a separate bar booking form that you also need to complete if you want to hire the licensed bar as part of your overall booking. (The buttons below will open the forms in a new tab so you can download a copy and complete it digitally, or print out and fill it in by hand.)

4. Send the completed booking form(s) our bookings officer, preferably by email to bookings4villagehall@gmail.com, or print them off and post or hand-deliver them to our bookings officer (contact details are on the form).
5. Pay the hire fees and returnable damage deposit, preferably by bank transfer to our account (bank details are shown on the booking form) quoting the hire date as a reference. Both must be received in full within 3 weeks to secure the booking.

Please note that any dates provisionally agreed with our bookings officer will be treated as tentatively reserved until the properly completed bookings forms are received and all monies due have been paid. The hall is in high demand and your tentative reservation will be held for no longer than three weeks, so please send the completed forms and payments to us as soon as possible to avoid disappointment. You can cancel a booking at any time up to 30 days before the hire date and receive a full refund.

The following enquiry form can be used to register your interest in a particular date/time with our bookings officer by email.
