Hire prices
Although running costs have increased substantially, the hire charges for the Village hall had remained unchanged since September 2013.
In March 2020, the Village Hall Management Committee decided that it was necessary to increase the hire charges from 1st September 2020 onwards. It was subsequently agreed that, due to the coronavirus pandemic and consequent disruption, the increase should be deferred until 1st March 2021.
The fees were increased by approximately 6% (i.e. an extra 50p to £1 per hour, depending on the facilities booked).
The prices below are for the new 2021 rates.
