‘Can I hire the hall?’

 
 

Hopefully, yes! Our hall is a shared community space and is available for a range of respectful, well-managed bookings. To ensure the comfort of neighbours, the safety of users, and the long-term care of the building, we operate clear guidelines on permitted use. We therefore welcome bookings that align with the hall’s community focus and safeguarding responsibilities.

Why We Have These Guidelines

The hall is situated in a residential area and is managed by volunteers on behalf of the community. Our policies are designed to:

  • Minimise disruption to neighbours

  • Maintain a safe environment for children and families

  • Protect the building from excessive wear and tear

  • Ensure fair and consistent use for all hirers

All bookings are assessed against these principles and applied consistently regardless of the nature of the occasion.
