Ours is a community village hall run entirely by a volunteer committee. We do rely on bookings from private parties and groups and we appreciate every hiring. We will assist wherever we can, so your event organisation is as easy as possible.
We keep our hire charges low to stay inclusive and hire charges are from entry time to exit time – please bear this in mind when planning your set up and booking suppliers – eg bouncy castles etc, caterers, etc.
We’re a central village location and so it’s vital that we keep the goodwill of our neighbours (for all events, and especially late finishers).
We don’t employ cleaners or caretakers, so we rely on those who hire the hall leaving it in the same condition they found it.
We require a £100 waiver for all day and weekend bookings. This will be returned to you assuming the hiring conditions are met.

For all Event Hire:
- Opening and closing: if you have collected a set of keys please ensure it is returned.
- It is expected that you will tidy up and leave the hall as you found it before leaving, unless you have made prior arrangements for a following day to clear up. This includes removal of all rubbish from the premises and return of tables and chairs to their storage locations.
- Please organise your events so that you have enough time to clear the hall and take down tables and chairs etc.
- We can provide a cleaning service if required. (Charges apply, please see details below).
- If you are using external suppliers who are not familiar with the hall (e.g. caterers, tables, chairs, live band, children’s play equipment) please give them contact details and request that they contact Niall ,- it’s important for planning access, so that we know when they are arriving and to ensure that everything runs smoothly. More on caterers, below.
- At the end of the evening, if Taxis are on the way, we suggest guests stay inside the hall with one party member on lookout – it just keeps the noise levels down.
- The hall is used by local groups such as the Little Hobbits Toddler group and our local Youth Club and these groups store toys and sports equipment behind the stage and upstairs. Please don’t allow your guests to use this.
- Please do read and adhere to our Conditions of Hiring – we are a volounteer managed Village Hall in a central village location and our conditions and policies ensure that we maintain good relations with our neighbours.

Smoking:
This is not permitted in the hall. Smokers should keep to the bottom of the front steps, without impeding the fire door access, and must use the butt collector provided. Again, please ensure it is not a large noisy gathering so as not to disturb the village.
Accessibility:
For those guests who cannot use the front steps, we advise them to park to the right side of the hall and make their entrance through the double doors on the flat path on the Bayley Field side of the hall. There is a dedicated accessible WC in the foyer area of the hall.
Heating:
We have ground source heating for the hall following a major fundraising campaign by local volunteers. We control the temperature in four different zones, and is done remotely via an app. We will ensure that the hall is ready for you and your guests dependent on the day’s forecast, and if the party is very hectic, we are able to tone down the temperature too.
After the Event:
It is expected that you leave the hall in the same clean and tidy condition in which you found it.
For all bookings, with the exception of 3 day wedding bookings, we require that you will tidy up, clean and put away that same day/evening, return the tables to the table trolley and stack the blue chairs to the back of the stage and the hall sides.
The locations of the brown and green chairs are in the hall side rear exit foyer.
Cleaning materials, brushes etc are stored in a designated store cupboard by the kitchen.
For 3 day wedding bookings or where you have booked the next day as part of your plan, then you can come in at your convenience and complete the tasks.
We also offer a paid cleaning service – The charge for this service is £13 per person per hour – usually about £52.
- Our cleaning service does not include clearing and putting away tables and chairs and removal of rubbish to to the outside bins.
- The service does include:
- The hall floor will be swept and cleaned of debris etc.
- All toilets will be cleaned, swept and loo rolls etc. replaced
- We will do a floor steam clean in the toilets

Decorating the Hall
For ALL events , when decorating the hall, please use only LOW TACK tape and our ceiling and wall hooks, and ensure that the walls, wooden stage and wooden hall floor are not marked, stapled, drilled, painted, sellotaped, glued or otherwise damaged. Some table decorations and glitter discs are not eco-friendly and are very difficult to vacuum – please do not use these for your event.
If the damage is greater than the damage deposit, we will take approriate legal action. Please ensure that any suppliers and event dressers follow the same requirements.

We have a fully licensed bar and a lovely team of experienced bar staff.
Depending on the size of your event, we will allocate staff to serve drinks, clear glasses and generally look after you and your guests.
Bar staff costs are £13.50 per person per working hour. Glass collectors (under 18s, £8.50 per person per hour)
Bar staff can provide reception drinks service as required (charges apply).
The bar will close at 11:30pm at weekends and 10:30 on Sundays and weekdays.

- If you choose to provide reception drinks and you need our bar staff, you will be charged corkage at £5 per bottle of wine/prosecco and £8 for Champagne, and Beer @ £2 per bottle. Bar staff costs remain at £13.50 per person per hour.
- If we provide the reception drinks, you will be charged at less than the normal bar bottle price.

What we serve:
For small events (less than 100) there is usually a bottle service at the bar with the usual range of beers, lager, wines, cider, spirits and soft drinks.
For larger events, the bar can offer the option of cask beer from Bowland Brewery, draft Guinness and a lager on tap. The lager choices include Fosters, Peroni, Carlsberg, San Miguel, Estrella, Heineken and Kronenbourg. Cask cider is Strongbow.
The quantity, by beer type, is: 72 pints for bitter or 88 pints for lager. We will work with you as to the likely demand, and if we need to make a choice about opening a barrel late in the evening, we will consult you first. Please note – there is always a bottle ‘back up’.
