Children’s Party Information

Frequently Asked Questions

Current hire charges:

August 2024 - £65 for a maximum of four hours in the main hall (this must include the setting up and clearing away time).  In addition to the hire charge, a refundable deposit of £30 is required to confirm the booking and  will be refunded after the party provided all is well. 

Before you arrive

Please be sure to ask your guests to park in the large village hall car park and not on the residential street.

When you arrive

One of our volunteer trustees will meet you at the hall at the beginning of your start time and will go through our Welcome notice with you. You will be asked to sign a copy of the notice. As all our trustees are unpaid volunteers, it is important that you arrive on time at the beginning of your hire period.

When you leave

At the end of your hire period (or before, if you are ready to go), one of our trustees will usually come and have a look around the hall to ensure that it is clean and in its original condition. Occasionally, there may not be a trustee available at that time, in which case you will be asked to make sure the main door to the village hall is closed behind you, and someone will check the hall later in the day.

Deposit refund

Provided that the hall is clean and in its original condition with no damage, and that the hall is vacated at the end of the hire period, your deposit will be returned to you. Our treasurer or booking officer will be in touch to ask for details of your bank account to refund the deposit. This is usually within a few days of the booking.

Hall dimensions

The main hall is approximately 170m2  - 17m x 9.5m (56’ x 31’)

The small hall is approximately 40m2   - 8.5m x 4.7m (28’ x 15’)

Bouncy Castles

You are welcome to arrange a bouncy castle for your children’s party and any indoor castle will fit in the main hall. Please note that you are responsible for its safe use at all times.

Sound System/Lights

You are welcome to use our sound system and lights (subject to availability), the trustee who welcomes you to the hall will show you how to work the system. We have adapters for iPhone and Android devices, in case your device doesn’t have a headphone jack. 

Tables/chairs

We have 11 rectangular tables (6’ long) available and two smaller tables, along with plenty of chairs which you will have access to for your event. 

Kitchen

We have a well equipped kitchen which you can use, which has:

• a large electric oven and hob
• pizza trays
• microwave
• kettle
• water heater
• mugs/cups and saucers/teapots
• water/juice jugs x 3
• fridge with small freezer
• tea towels

Rubbish

Unfortunately, we are not able to manage customers’ waste and all rubbish must be taken away by the hirer. Please remember to bring bin liners with you - there will be a few under the sink in the kitchen in case you don’t have enough.

Fire Doors

The fire doors are only to be used in case of an emergency. There are safety tags fitted to the fire doors which will break immediately should you need to evacuate the building. The fire doors are not to be used in any other way.
