For the immediate future we are unable to accept bookings for parties, weddings or other social events. We anticipate that this will remain the case until at least mid-summer 2021

We are now accepting certain restricted categories of bookings again following a prolonged period of closure due to the COVID-19 pandemic. This means that some, although not all, of our regular hirers are able to return to the Hall, subject to certain conditions, and other limited events may be able to take place subject to approval of Trustees. It is important that users of the Hall follow some simple steps to keep the Hall Covid secure. Please read the detail on the poster below. Copies of this poster are displayed in the Hall. In addition to this we have introduced some Special Conditions of Hire which you must accept prior to your booking. These are in addition to the Standard Conditions of Hire. Please ensure you are familiar with the latest advice from Government regarding social distancing and other restrictions as these may change from time to time. Visit the Government's website for more information.
