The Bookings Process

A Step-By-Step Guide

Step 1: Choose Your Venue

Choose the best venue for your event!

There are 3 venues to choose from: Freshfield Hall, Peter Griffits Hall, and the Committee Room.

Find Out Which Venue To Choose

Step 2: Confirm the Hire Tariffs

Hire tariffs depend on the venue, type of event, and residency status.

Make sure that you are aware of the Village Hall hire tariffs, and any extras you require (e.g. use of the kitchen). Please note, a returnable deposit is required for all bookings.

If you’d like to estimate your potential booking, please use our “Hire Estimator” tool (excludes extras).

Step 3: Check Date & Time Availability

Scheduled events per venue.

For your chosen venue, check that the date and times you’d like to book the hall are available. Booking times are a minimum of 1.5 hours, and thereafter in 15 min increments.

Step 6: Website & Event Promotion

Help with promoting your event!

If your event is public, you will be asked for event details that can be uploaded to the Village Hall Events Calendar. This will include an image, description, contact information, external website links (e.g. Facebook), etc.

Featured Events

You will also be asked if you’d like to feature your event. Basically, a featured event is one which gets greater visibility through the online activities of the Village Hall. Specifically this includes:

  1. Your event gets a shout-out on the Village Hall Facebook page;
  2. Your event gets highlighted in the main events listing;
  3. Featured events appear on the home page as well as get posted to the sidebar of the events page.

It costs £5 to feature an event. As a registered charity, all funds raised goes to the upkeep of the Village Hall. You can feature an event during the bookings process, or contact the Hall Manager prior to your event for assistance.
