Hire of the Town Hall

We are now welcoming enquiries for bookings from September. To ensure we keep within government guidelines to keep everyone safe, including our staff who work in the building, we have reduced our capacity and are adding a small extra charge for additional cleaning. Please get in touch if you would like to discuss your event. We very much look forward to welcoming back our hirers.
