The Community Centre car park is free to use however all users must input their vehicle details into the tablet located at the entrance to the hall.
♥Can I hire the garden?
You can use the garden when hiring the main hall. There is a separate door to the garden. Unfortunately we do not have any garden furniture at the moment but watch this space! We also cannot guarantee that the lawn will have been mowed before your event due to availability of the gardener and the good old British weather.
♥How do I book the bar?
You can book to hire the bar at the same time as hiring the main hall. Simply add how many hours of the bar you require and add the hours to the comments. We understand that you may not require the bar when setting up and cleaning down, so no need to add the hours on for these times.

We have a wide variety of drinks available; lager, ale, wines, Prosecco, spirits and mixers in a can, ciders, J20’s and other soft drinks.
♥Do you have draught beer?

If you have a specific request then please get in touch at least 4 weeks before your party and we can see what we can do. No guarantees!
