Using the Hall

You are welcome to decorate the hall, bring in whatever furniture or equipment you need for your event and configure the space how you would like. It’s perfect for parties, as you can really make the space your own. You can use blu-tac or sellotape, but please make sure this is fully removed. No pins or nails please. You must book enough time to decorate and clear down the hall after use. This is why we provide the 1pm- midnight block booking at an affordable rate, so that you and any suppliers have plenty of time to set up.

Music & Sound

You are welcome to play music as part of your booking. The sound needs to be turned down after 11pm and off by midnight due to neighbourhood noise regulation.
