Community Hall Hire Agreement and Conditions of Hire

About this document

What it’s for

Many community groups own or manage a hall or room that they hire to others for parties, classes, meetings and events. Clear conditions of hire protect the building, neighbours and the people using it, and make clear who is responsible for what – especially supervision, alcohol, music and safety.

When to use it

  • For every booking, from one-off parties to regular classes
  • When reviewing your hire charges and terms
  • When dealing with damage, noise complaints or unpaid fees

What’s inside

The document is laid out in the sections below. Each one comes with a plain-English guidance note explaining what it does and what to change.

  1. The hirer
  2. Bookings and payment
  3. Cancellation
  4. Use of the hall
  5. Safety
  6. Alcohol, entertainment and licensing
  7. Children and adults at risk
  8. Noise, neighbours and the end of the hire
  9. Damage and liability
  10. The committee’s rights
  11. Data protection

How to complete it

  • Fill in the hall’s details, charges and rules
  • Ask each hirer to complete and sign the booking form, accepting the conditions
  • Check the hall’s premises licence or arrange Temporary Event Notices where needed

Key points to check

  • If alcohol will be sold (including in a ticket price), a premises licence or Temporary Event Notice is needed
  • Check the hall’s capacity from the fire risk assessment and tell hirers
