Facilities for hire
All hirings include electricity and heating and VAT.
All facilities are booked by 'session'. A session is 4 hours long in the daytime (Morning & Afternoon session) and 5 hours in the evening. The longer sessions give the person hiring plenty of time to set up tables, prepare food etc and to clear away and clean up afterwards to allow the next user to start on time.
It is also long enough for providers to run 2 classes / groups back to back which will offer then increased earning potential. We hope that this system will increase the number of opportunities for having fun , getting fit and learning new skills in the area for all ages.
There are 3 sessions per day:
Morning 0900 - 1300
Afternoon 1300 - 1700.
Evening 1700 - 2200 (can be extended to midnight on weekends)
You can also book the whole site starting at 0900 and ending at 2200.
If you struggle with the internet and are worried about being able to book via this website give Will a call on 07870 572 230 and we will do it for you.
OUR PRICING PHILOSOPHY
Prices to hire the facilities are deliberately set to be very affordable to encourage those setting up new groups and classes to create more opportunities for people in this area.
Importantly, we want the groups and classes to be affordable for students, families, the unwaged, low incomes workers and pensioners.
Price Categories

This is for use by local residents and people organising clubs, societies and activities.
If you want to book for a child's birthday party or to run an activity such as yoga class, a board game club, or circuits then this is for you. It's the cheapest to encourage people to use the Hall and to offer more for people in the area to get involved with.
