Booking the Hall

If you wish to make a booking go to AVAILABILTY and the calendar opens to show what is available.  Choose your date, enter your requirements, hit SEND and I shall respond to you.  If you have questions go to CONTACT for phone numbers and email address.

During this hot weather it is great that we can offer effective air-conditioning, thanks to the air source heat pumps that were installed in 2022. If you have an event during this period you can control the temperature by activating the central unit in the roof from the control panel to the left of the main hatch. Just press ON. A green light comes on and you can see the flaps come down on the unit in the roof. Use the remote to your left to operate the three wall-mounted units or just press the large grey ON button on each unit.  All the devices are set to bring the ambient temperature down to 18°.  We ask that you take great care to turn all the devices OFF before you leave. If I check the next day and find that you have left the air-conditioning running you will be charged an additional £25.  For more guidance go to Bookings / Instructions for Use, – on this website, but note the controls are preset for cooling to 18°.  If not sure, – DON’T FIDDLE!

 Free internet is provided, password provided on notice boards in both rooms.

Charges. We had  held charges unchanged from 2017 but then we had to make some increases, as from 1 July 2022.  The popular Child’s Party events are held at the same £40 for four hours.  I am very sorry we can no longer allow Bouncy Castles because our insurers have pointed out that we would not be covered against the risk of serious injuries.  The only way around this is for you, as hirer,  to show that you have FULL indemnity.

What’s On?  If you have young children aged 4-13 to keep busy and entertained look at the Summer Multi-Activity Camp under ‘News and Events‘.  Our varied musical events have proved very popular so two more bookings have been arranged.  On Wednesday 5th August Fenner Curtis from Cheltenham has booked his Jazz Quartet for an evening entitled ‘Swing from Paris’.  Then on Friday 11th December we have ‘An evening with folk diva Vikki Clayton’.  She is another artiste who specialises in the music of Sandy Denny and is very keen to perform in Byfield, where Sandy lived and performed.  We continue to think about staging more plays or films.  Are you interested?  Will you come?  Please let us know.
