Room Hire
Room Hire
Greyfriars is not just a community centre. It is a hub for many different clubs, organisations and classes for people to meet. We have a huge choice of 13 rooms and halls of all sizes and shapes for all different situations.
Booking Sessions
Rooms and halls are booked by sessions. A session is a morning, afternoon or twilight/evening. For example, a booking for a full day, but not evening, would be 2 sessions.
However, those holding classes, such as exercise, may book by the hour.
Additional Extras
There are several options to help you. You can have full use of a kitchen, including crockery so you can manage your own catering. Or you can prepare your food outside, but still have some kitchen use.
You can also choose to hire your tables, chairs, covers etc from outside.
Special Occasions
Weddings, Parties, Christenings, Baby Showers, Funeral Teas and more. A summer wedding reception in our Hilary Christy room used South Coast Parties for their catering, see below for some pictures. Please contact us for more details.
The Lawn:
As part of centre hire, our spacious lawn may be hired to extend the range of facilities available. The lawn has hosted craft events, teas for the elderly and BBQs. Please enquire about lawn hire as an additional space to enhance your event.
Equipment Hire:
We have a range of equipment that we hire including tablecloths, stage, projector, chairs and tables that may be hired by our affiliated groups.
Charges
Charges vary according to factors, day, time, use of a kitchen and any equipment loans. In addition, the rates are adjusted based on the hirer and there are 4 levels to reflect this: affiliated clubs/societies, classes, not for profit groups/societies and commercial.
When we state ‘session rates from’; alongside and below, please understand these are simply to give some indication and help for your planning. As explained, the final actual session charge may be more or less depending on timings.
Catering management
The Greyfriars Special Events team can manage catering for Greyfriars members or Greyfriars clubs – for example, a celebration lunch, a tea, or meal in the evening. Please ask for a quote.
