You are welcome to play music at the hall but we request that it is kept to an acceptable limit.

There are no speakers at the hall.

You are welcome to have a bouncy castle inside or outside, however an inside bouncy castle must not exceed 2.6m in height. Please check with your provider that it will fit inside as any damage to the hall will result in the loss of your damage deposit.

Unfortunately naked flames will set off the smoke alarm so you are not able to have any candles or sparklers indoors.
