Frequently Asked Questions

Here are some questions that we are often asked, everyones needs are different and there is never a question that should not be asked. If you can not find the answer to your question below please feel free to contact us.

Can I have a bouncy castle on site?

Bouncy castles are permitted on site, the supplier needs to provide a copy of their public liability insurance and your booking needs to allow time for assembly and clear up.

Can I have a bouncy castle in the car park?

For safety reasons this is not permitted. If you require an outside option, we have a fenced off garden to the rear of the Grand Hall.

Can we bring our own alcohol?

We offer a fully licensed bar on site. To fulfil our licensing requirements only alcohol purchased from here is allowed to be consumed on the premises.

Can we leave vehicles on site overnight?

The car park is locked overnight and at times only opened when the venue is in use. We can allow cars to be left on site, but this is with prior arrangement with the manager.

What time can we enter before our event?

Your hire starts from the start time on your booking form, a member of staff will allow you in no more than 5 minutes before.

Do I need Insurance for my guests?

You are not required to have insurance for your guests but if you are using any form of entertainer/bouncy castle/caterer/D.J. etc we require a copy of their public liability insurance prior to the event.

Do you have a music system?

We do not have a PA system; this would need to be arranged by the hirer.

Do we have to set up the hall ourselves?

Yes, is it the hirers responsibility to lay out the hall as you require from the supply of chairs and tables available. Alternatively, you can pay for set up which you would need to provide instructions for.

Do we have to clear up at the end of the hire?

It is the hirers responsibility to return the hall to the condition they found it in, including returning tables and chairs to their place of origin, gathering rubbish, sweeping, hoovering and removing any decorative items.

When do I have to pay for the hire of the hall?

The total balance of your hire is due 2 weeks before your event date

Do I need to provide a deposit if I make a block booking or become a regular hirer?

No deposit is required for regular bookings, you will be invoiced monthly for your fees.

Do we need to dispose of our own rubbish?

Gas canisters must be removed from the premises and disposed of appropriately by the hirer. All other rubbish is to be placed in black bags and left by the kitchen door for the staff to dispose of on your behalf.
