We have a hearing loop in place, for people who use hearing aids.
A hearing loop is a special type of sound system for use by people with hearing aids. The hearing loop provides a magnetic, wireless signal that is picked up by the hearing aid when it is set to ‘T’ (Telecoil) setting.
There are clean and tidy male and female toilets, both of which provide access to the back of the stage.
There is a separate cloakroom as you enter the building, on the left. It also contains spare equipment and a broom cupboard. The door to the cloakroom features a small ticket hatch.
There is a small decking area, which has capacity for three long tables and chairs and overlooks the adjacent cricket field, which is a separate facility.
The hall car park has capacity for approximately 8 vehicles, with two spaces directly in front of the hall allocated for disabled parking should your event need it. There is space for vans to load and unload in preparation for events and plenty of easy and free parking in Winchelsea town itself.
