Hire the Hall! – In the old hall, it was an experience you never forgot! The new hall, hopefully opening in September, will be a wonderful experience with its superb new facilities.
You can hire the whole Hall including tables, chairs, crockery etc., or just hire the car park if that meets your needs. We even allow the hire of tables and chairs and so on to be taken away from the Hall to be used at your own event. Of course there are various conditions of hire which are further explained here. Rosemary Hewson is our bookings secretary and she really is the best person to help you – her contact details are at the bottom of this page.
This is what the old hall looked like:
