Services A-Z

COVID–19 and hall hire
Halls are now available for bookings. All community events and activities and private hires are able to take place with risks managed by hirers e.g. through ventilation, encouraging social distancing, hand washing and use of hand sanitisers. However, the greater transmission associated with the Delta variant means it remains important to respect and be considerate of those who are more vulnerable and who may wish to take a more cautious approach. Therefore, it will be appropriate at some activities or events that measures (including wearing of face masks and social distancing) are taken so that people who are clinically vulnerable or not yet vaccinated can attend.
A ‘Special Conditions of Hire’ document will be sent to the hirer prior to the booking.
