You need to book enough time for setting up and clearing up afterwards.

To use the heaters in the Main Hall and Annexe, and the cooker in the Main Hall, you will need to buy electric cards. These cost £6 each and last about an hour depending on how cold the weather is, and how many heaters you have on. You are only charged for the cards you actually use.

We also charge a Damage Deposit, which is refundable provided you comply with the Letting Conditions, leaving the premises clean and tidy ready for the next hirers.

The blue tablecloths are free to use, but we ask you to wash and return them neatly folded.

The large white tablecloths cost £5 each to hire because we pay to have them cleaned.

There are no other costs, for example for chairs and tables, if you are hiring a hall.

Tables, chairs and the small blue table cloths are included in the cost of the hire of the Hall, Annexe and Meeting room. We ask you to wash the tablecloths and return them to the hall.

White tablecloths for the large round tables cost £5 each to hire to cover the cost of laundering them.

Tables and chairs can be hired for use at your own venue.

It is the Woodchurch community mosaic. During the 2020 lockdown, the Woodchurch in Bloom group invited people to paint pebbles and add them to the growing caterpillar outside the school gate. Over 600 villagers joined in. In July 2021, the caterpillar was transformed into ‘HOPE’,  a permanent pebble butterfly in the garden of the Memorial Hall.
