All bookings are subject to the Terms and Conditions of Hire.
The Village Centre has a Premises Licence from Mid Sussex District Council (Reference PNA0011). This does not include the sale of alcohol. Hirers wishing to sell alcohol must have the agreement of the Trustees and obtain a Temporary Event Notice from Mid Sussex District Council before the event.
The Village Centre also has a Community Building Music Licence from PRS PPL (reference 01653385). This does not cover a Hirer who makes an income from an activity during which music is played – such a Hirer is responsible for obtaining their own music licence if appropriate.
Hirers must be at least 22 years old.
Parties for 14-22 year olds are not permitted.
Anyone holding a party for young children must have an appropriate number of adults to supervise.
BOUNCY CASTLES / INFLATABLES: Please note that due to requirements of the Village Centre’s insurers, bouncy castles and inflatables are no longer allowed inside the hall at any time.
