Hatton Park Residents' Association

Booking the Hall

You must be over 25 to book Hatton Park Village Hall and regretfully, at the present time, we are unable to accept adult gatherings and/or parties beyond 9.00 pm.  Bookings taking place on bank holidays are charged at the weekend rate of £22.00 per hour. 

Below are the Hatton Park Village Hall charges updated on 1st January 2025.  All bookings are subject to the Village Hall Hiring Agreement, which forms part of the booking request form which the Booking Clerk will email to you on request.  

There is a 30 minute change over period before and after each slot for parties and events that require use of the kitchen and a 15 minute change over period before and after each slot for all other bookings.  These changeover times are added to the cost of the hall hire and are reserved automatically when booking the hall.  This changeover period must be used for setting up before your event and clearing up afterwards.  Hirers are not to use this period to extend their event and a Residents’ Association key holder may enter the hall at any point during this period.

Please refer to the cancellation policy on the reverse page of the booking request form the booking clerk will send you and if you intend to charge for alcohol at your event, you will need to obtain an alcohol licence.

Before booking you can look at our online booking diary to check the availability of the main hall and meeting room.  Bookings can normally only be taken four weeks in advance, but we will do our best to accommodate short notice bookings if we can.  All bookings are only confirmed once the deposit and rental charge are paid.  To book or for more information, please contact the booking clerk at bookingclerk@hattonpark.net.

Once you have returned your completed booking request form to the booking clerk a place will be reserved for you provisionally.  If you are a single event hirer, you will be asked to send a cheque for the £150 deposit (this will only be cashed in the event of damage).  If you do not use or have access to cheques, we will invoice you for the deposit along with the invoice for the hire charge which should be paid by BACs.  If you pay the deposit you can expect it to be refunded during the first week of the following month.

If you wish to become a regular weekly or monthly hirer, you will be required to pay the £150 deposit via BACs which we hold in our client account.  The booking clerk must receive both the deposit and hire charge within a minimum of two weeks of your proposed bookings or the slot will be lost.  Bookings will not be confirmed until the deposit and payment are received.

We endeavour to keep the online booking diary up to date, but please do not arrange your event (eg send out invitations or book caterers, entertainers, etc) until you have received confirmation from the booking clerk that the time you have requested is free.
