Supervision
The Hirers are responsible for the supervision of the premises and its contents and the behaviour of those using the hall. At least one adult must be in attendance at all times during an event.
Noise
Arrivals and departures must be conducted quietly as a courtesy to local residents. All doors and windows must be kept completely closed when music is playing.
Alcohol
The Village Hall Management Committee has a premises license that covers the sale and provision of alcohol. It is against the law to sell or provide alcohol to persons under the age of 18. We operate a Challenge 25 policy: it is very hard to tell a young person’s age, so ensure that you check even those that look older than 18. If they look 25 or under then check for proof.
Parking
The car park can accommodate 6 or 7 cars. Any overspill can be parked around The Green but not on the grass itself nor across private driveways.
Smoking
Smoking is forbidden by law in any part of the Village Hall.
Emergency Exits
During events, both exits must be kept unlocked, with the outer side door secured open.

If the electrical power trips off, remove all electric plugs from the sockets and with off the cooker and the wall heaters in the main room. The circuit breaker in the cupboard on the northern wall can then be reset.

In the event of damage to the premises or loss of or damage to any equipment, the Hirer will be charged for the first £100 for repairs and/or replacement.
