Hire the OBS

All bookings are managed by our administrator Helen Berry, who will be pleased to answer any questions about your booking on 07570 097332 or via our contact page. Helen can also arrange an appointment for you to view the OBS before Booking.

Hiring is generally by the hour, but times can be by agreement. The time of hire must include set up and tidy up time. We appreciate the room being left in as good (or better!) state than you found it.

How to make a booking

  1. View availability of the hall by checking our calendar. The calendar is kept up to date as far as possible, but it may be worth discussing with Helen Berry to see if there is any flexibility between already reserved sessions.
  2. Please read our Terms and Conditions.
  3. Download and complete a booking form (Word or PDF).
  4. Send booking form(s) to our administrator via our contact page.
  5. Wait to hear back from our administrator who will confirm if the booking is accepted.
  6. Pay the deposit. This is a refundable deposit of £100 that covers a single hire, or an unlimited series of bookings made at the same time.

Your booking is not confirmed until the administrator has confirmed a reservation and a deposit has been paid.

Please note, we prefer payments and refunds to be by Bank Transfer. We cannot accept Credit or Debit Cards.
