LATEST NEWS 

June sees the arrival of 120 custom upholstered chairs made for us by a specialist venue supplier in Hitchin.  We hope you like the change, they will certainly brighten up the Hall with their three shades of turquoise fabric and are significantly more comfortable. The starting point was finding chairs with arms to assist people with reduced strength and mobilty, and one third of the chairs will meet this criterion.

Also in the pipeline this next year is the re-design and upgrading of the ladies and gents toilet areas. We will start with the Ladies’ In December.

To get us off the ground we need to raise £5000 this year to match the £8000 we have applied for in grants. Please let a committee member know if you would like to make a donation towards chairs (from £72 each) or the Toilets refurbishment (from £195 for each close coupled WC, other fixtures or fittings are available).  Being a charity, gift aid applies.

To get the fundraising off to a good start we will be launching a “100 Club” which is a local lottery to raise funds for good causes. The launch will be at Film Night on 17th June. More details to follow. Contact Rosemarie Roberts or Ali Casey to sign up and help with our fundraising.

Link to: Hiring the Hall

Hiring the Hall

For just £14 per hour, individuals and groups can hire a large, light and airy hall, with a stage, professional kitchen, large dance floor, heating and lighting. The commercial rate is £16 per hour. Regular hirers who book for 10 or more occasions per year receive our discounted rate of £11 per hour. 

Weekend Wedding hire costs £800 for 2024.

Licences

The hall has an entertainment licence, so you can perform, play music and watch films in the hall. The hall has an alcohol licence, but you may have to take out a temporary licence. 

Fundraising

We are now fundraising for our next big projects namely the upgrading and refurbishment of the ladies and gents toilets. We will be starting with the ladies in December. We need to raise £5000 this year to match the £8000 we have applied for in grants. To raise £1200 of our £5000 target we will be launching a “100 Club” which is a local lottery to raise funds for good causes.

Contact Rosemarie Roberts or Ali Casey to sign up and help with our fundraising.

The hall has step free access through the front doors and a wide access door into the main hall. There is a new fully accessible toilet next to the entrance door and further male and female toilets either side of the stage which have disabled facilities. There is a ramp to the decking area outside which overlooks the cricket ground and beautiful views over the Brede Valley.

We have very good acoustics in the hall together with a hearing loop.

 

Maintenance, repairs and improvements

We have carried out extensive refurbishment to the New Hall over the past few years. We have a  professional kitchen, new double glazed windows, accessible front door, new curtains, new stage curtains, exterior and interior redecoration and improved insulation to the roof and most recently an upgrade of the cloakroom and addition of a new accessible toilet all of which combine to make the hall an enjoyable and beautiful space!
