ACCESS TO THE HALL 

Regular hirers can be provided with their own key-set for use at the times and days contracted.

​

TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Can be found here.

​

Regular hirers benefit from reduced rates against one-off hire prices. But, we do expect you to pay for the sessions reserved for you (for instance, if you hire the hall for three hours each week then we expect you will use and pay for these hours even if some weeks you decide to use only 1 hour). If you don't feel able to commit to a regular slot with 4 hours of holiday (for instance if you want lots more holidays) then our non-regular rate of £15 may work out better for you. Unfortunately, we have had to enforce this as some weekly hirers kept cancelling sessions last-minute, meaning we couldn't hire the hall to anyone else which represents lost income. 

 

Holidays weeks can be booked in advance allowing us to advertise this available hire opportunity. 4 holiday weeks a year are permitted (pro-rated if your time with us doesn't cover a full 12 months). 

​

PAYMENT (2022 rates)

Hire fees are chargeable to the nearest 30 minutes. 

 

Hirers can set up a weekly subscription to settle fees automatically here. We do not accept cash. 

​

If you need to pay for extra time (beyond your usual hire period), then you can do so here: https://buy.stripe.com/3csbLIcM4bFhfbGdQU

​

DAMAGES DEPOSIT

A £50 damages deposit will be sought from you at the start of your hire and we will retain this for the duration of your hire. Our terms and conditions outline circumstances where this may be withheld (for instance, if damage is caused).

 

You can pay your damages deposit here. 

​

STORAGE

Some storage space may be available to regular hirers and can be discussed. A charge will be payable. 

All equipment must be stored with our permission to ensure it does not impact our insurance or pose a danger to others.

​

SUPPORT FROM US 

We're proactive in encouraging attendees to your classes and workshops.

• We regularly use social media to promote what is happening at the Hall and can share posts that you ask us to. 

• We publish a weekly calendar on this website and at the Hall. 

• We invite class leaders to promote their activity at community events. 

​

Because our regular classes usually enhance the lives of those in our community, we're also on-hand to explore ways to seek funding for new ideas. If you're considering running a class but need to chat it through with someone then please do just get in touch. 

​

PERMITTED ACTIVITY

There are certain activities that we are not permitted to allow due to licensing, insurance or practical restrictions. For this reason we will need to consider the nature of your activity before allowing your activity.

 

We do accommodate children's craft materials and dog classes but may retain part or whole of the deposit should damage occur and ask that you bring your own cleaning equipment for these sessions. 

​

We kindly ask that tape or tack is not used on our walls. There are some trims where this might be possible. 

​

WASTE

Bathroom waste can be bagged and left in our bins. If using the kitchen, there's no need to take the bin out unless full when you leave as we will do this for you. We ask that no other waste is left such as cardboard and you should treat this as your own businesses trade waste (we may be able to explore this separately). 

​

INSURANCES

All regular hirers should have sufficient insurances to cover themselves and their attendees for the activity being undertaken. Non-commercial hirers may be able to benefit from our hirers liability cover - see our General Hire section of our FAQs for more details on insurance. 

​

COMMUNITY BENEFIT

We would like to work with individuals and groups in our community to offer more activity of community benefit - produce shows, kids activities etc. Where surplus from activity is put back into the Village Hall charity and where our hirer liability covers your activity we may be able to discuss a discounted hire rate. 

​

HOW DO YOU DEFINE A REGULAR HIRER? 

Regular hirers use the Hall for at least 4 hours each month and normally offer activity that our community can benefit from. If your use falls below the regular hire rate then we will charge you at the occasional hire rate.
