Preparation and clearing up
Let us know if you’d like to see the Hall before booking. It’s best to allow some time for setting out tables and chairs for your event.
Please leave the hall clean and tidy after your visit, and ready for the next users. We don’t have staff to do this, as the Hall is run by volunteers for the community.
Please stack and put away chairs and tables; sweep the floor if necessary; wash glasses, cutlery and crockery, and put them away; and wash and iron soiled tablecloths, returning them as soon as possible. Please replace any breakages.
On leaving, make sure to switch off all the lights, heaters (including in the toilets and kitchen), projector and amplifier.
If you’d prefer to leave some of the clearing up to our volunteers, or help with setting up, please ask about additional charges.
