Covid-19 precautions

We are a covid-aware venue

While all legal restrictions have ended, Covid19 is still very prevalent. We want to make sure that everyone feels safe when using the hall.

Please be sensible – don’t attend the hall if you are unwell (with covid or anything else). This is only fair on your fellow attendees.

More details in our hiring conditions on the policies and procedures page.

What we offer to help hirers

ItemWhat we have done
VentilationThe hall has plenty of windows throughout. We replaced all the locking handles in early 2022 so all windows open easily.
We leave several window keys on sills – all locks are the same (except the bar area window, which has its own key on its sill)
(Please don’t forget to close and lock all windows before you leave!)
SpaceThe hall has a large airy main room with plenty of space to spread out
We are always ‘one group at a time’ so you have the building to yourselves
Enclosed play area at the back of the hall (fenced off from the road) so safe outdoor space available.
