Bar
There is a bar area but users will have to arrange their own Temporary licence. These are not difficult to obtain and you can do it yourself. Details provided on our written agreement.
No alcohol is kept on the premises for security reasons however the bar is what you want it to be, within legal constraints of course. The bar must close and music stop by midnight (1am New Years Eve).
Parking
The area outside can accomodate thirty cars leaving room to maneouvre. It is advisable to have someone organise the parking as visitors arrive.
Use of the main road is to be avoided - please advise your guests in the invitation. It is narrow, and an obstruction or inconsiderate parking will annoy locals and may attract police intervention.
Events
Events take place in the Meeting Room and Main Hall. The Meeting Room is for smaller gatherings of about 20 people but may be used as an anti-room for larger functions.
Although the Main Hall has regular events such as WI meetings, and childrens play group, there is still great scope for random events like...
- Wedding Receptions
- Anniversary Parties
- Theatre Productions
- Birthday Parties
- Dinner Dances
- Meetings / Conferences
...but the Hall is a popular venue so you need to book well in advance.
The pictures (click on them to enlarge) indicate how some users have been able to tailor the hall for their particular event. A marquee lining can be provided for special lighting effects.
160 square metres provide for a maximum of 150 people leaving room for a presenter with projector (not provided). Actual dimensions are 19.8 x 8 meters with headroom of 4.6 meters. The meeting room is 5.4 x 3.1 meters with a large oval table easily removed if required.
In fact we have an excellent venue and want you to have a good time but not at the expense of the hall and our neighbours and for this reason bookings are not done on line.

Conditions:
The small meeting room may be subject to conditional letting of the main hall Lighting and Heating ARE included in the hire rates. Additional charges MAY be levied for "Special Dates". The hire of the Kitchen always includes hot water for washing-up etc. Any deviations MUST be agreed by the Hall Committee.
Note:
We regret that due to our strict insurance criteria we no longer allow any birthday parties for 15 to 22 year olds as we have had some very bad experiences with un-welcome gatecrashers and serious damage to our hall. Village residents with young people within these age groups will need to apply to the committee for a special exemption. All cases are closely scrutinised.
