FAQ’s

 

 

 

 

Is the hall licensed to sell alcohol?

No, it is the responsibility of the hirer to arrange for a TENS (Temporary Event Notice) to be obtained through Peterborough City Council. The fee for this is £21.00 and we are only permitted to have 15 each calendar year. 

The form can be found here: www.peterborough.gov.uk/business/licences-and-permits/apply-for-a-licence/temporary-event-notice#apply-for-a-temporary-event-notice-1-0

Do I need to clear up and remove rubbish at the end of the hire period?

Yes.  The hall provides cleaning equipment for users in the cleaner’s cupboard by the toilets (brooms, dustpan and brush, cleaning liquid, etc.) and there is also washing up liquid, surface cleaner and cloths in the kitchen. Please bring your own tea towels, even if you plan to use the dishwasher. The hall does not provide a hireable cleaning service. 

Users are responsible for leaving the hall, toilets, kitchen (including appliances, crockery, etc.) and entrance hall in a clean and tidy condition.  Please return crockery and cutlery, etc., to the shelves/cupboards where you found them.  Rubbish can be disposed of in the bins provided outside. There are two bins, one for recycling and one for general waste.  Once these are full all excess rubbish must be taken home by the hirer and not left stacked outside the village hall.  The Village Hall are charged if incorrect types of rubbish are placed in the bins, and this may result in the hirer paying the charge, so please ensure that the correct bins are used.

Is there setting up or clearing up time included free of charge

Hirers are allowed 30 minutes free of charge for setting up or clearing up time.  The hirer will pay for any additional time required for this and should include extra time in their booking request.  

Is there car parking provided?

The only parking available is on street parking outside the hall.  Please be considerate to the residents in the surrounding area of the hall to ensure they can access their own properties at all times.   

How do I pay for my booking?

Payment should please be made by BACS. We do accept cash payments or payment by cheque but BACS is the preferred method of payment.  Please include your name as the reference.
