4 hours of hall hire in the afternoon. You'll be let into the Hall at the session start time. Remember you'll need to book enough time to setup and cleanup. 4 hours works well for well-timed children's parties with a small amount of setup and some team-work tidying! If you're after a more relaxed tidy-up then five hours might be better. You'll get: Use of our Kitchen: This includes use of our cups, fridge, two kettles and Tassimo coffee machine and microwave, tea towels and washing up liquid. Use of our Tables and chairs: We have lots of rectangular and square tables as well as several tables set up in the wings of the hall already. We've over a dozen 6ft tables, 8-9 x 3 ft tables and around 90 chairs. An invite for your Pets: We allow well-behaved, house-trained pets - so they don't have to miss out on the fun (please bring your own cleaning materials for pet use only). Use of our general cleaning equipment: We have mops, spray, clothes, tea towels and a hoover for you to use at the end of hire so you don't have to think about packing those. Excess energy covered: Your hire includes extra energy you might use if you hire a bouncy castle provider or disco (this used to be chargeable as an 'extra'). Car Parking: Use of our generous car park and around 20 spaces (note: we have 2 nearby residents who pay to use our car park and so do not offer this as entirely vacant). To leave one bin bag of rubbish with us: As a Charity we can't sustain our own waste contract at the current time. Please feel free to use our external recycling bins freely and leave one general refuse bag of rubbish with us (beyond this will need to be taken away). GET A DISCOUNT!

Our AGM will take place on the 4th August 2024 at 6pm. Information about our AGM can be found at https://www.villagehallstanton.com/agm-and-trustees We could really do with more trustees to help us manage the hall. Information on becoming a trustee and to apply can be found at: https://drive.google.com/file/d/12EHN2XNUePmyeSqPxRMBHxRG23xLzeqX/view?usp=sharing At this AGM we will be taking an important vote to change the charity entity to a Foundation CIO. This will help give the hall its own legal entity and separate liability from the trustees (the risk on individuals currently has put potential new trustees off previously). Register your interest in the AGM now to receive a reminder the day before:

Sadly our defibrillator was deployed this week, as it is there to do. We look after this defibrillator for our community, checking it weekly, heating it through winter (so the pads don’t freeze), and dealing with putting it right after deployment. Our defibrillator is one of the most accessible in the local area as it is available 24/7 (code is given by the Ambulance Service as needed). Your generous donations supported us to replace the battery and pads last year. But we now need to replace the pads after this deployment. Please consider supporting us by making a donation here: https://www.paypal.com/donate?campaign_id=UJKQN9HQXPGV4 Wishing our community well and our thoughts are with those who needed to use this.

Hi, I'm Tracey, one of the volunteers at Stanton Village Hall. In this post I wanted to cover some things to think about when holding a kids party at the Village Hall - and things I learned holding my kids parties here! Checking providers are available. I was pretty last minute in deciding we wanted a bouncy castle and luckily we managed to get one. The Hall will take a small bouncy castle or there's a small garden to the rear (be careful as there is a stream running alongside the garden). Local providers include Bounce, Bounce, Bounce and Abi's Entertainments. It's worth checking they're available when you book just in case you can't get anything sorted. Food and kitchen things We've tea and coffee-making facilities but beyond that I'd make sure you pack: kids cups serving platters (many pre-prepare their buffet and bring it ready on platters). food and drinks plates any cutlery needed a cake cutting knife a lighter for birthday candles. napkins, kitchen roll and anything else that helps clean spills (the hall has cleaning cloths etc but I found some wipes on standby were useful). Tablecloths/covers. Tea towels Bin bags (we have some but we'd be grateful if you could bring your own). Containers/food bags for any leftovers. What you don't need to worry about There's lots of chairs and they're easily wipeable. There's lots of tables (long rectangular ones and some squarer ones). There's worktop space in the kitchen to unpack and get organised. There's a baby change table in the disabled bathroom. There's lots of parking - for about 20 cars. Coffee cups and kettles (2) Entertainment You might want to bring some music there's a cd-radio there. If you're bringing an Alexa then you may want to stream data from your phone - EE works best. There's lots of space for games and play. Don't forget party bags and other decorations. We set up a little table on the way out with those. A 4-hour children's party booking will give you two hours of party time and an hour to setup and take-down/clean-up. Many parents book 4-5 hours. We've popped some below or you can find the right booking option for you under our Hall Hire section of the website. .
