Hire Charges 

The charge for room hire is dependent on the type of organisation that you are:
There are 2 charging bands

• Band A is for church organisations and charities (25% discount on band B)
• Band B is for all other user groups

The rooms can be hired by the hour or in sessions.  
Our definition of ‘A Session’ is a morning, afternoon or evening and lasts for up to four hours. 
Off peak / weekend discounts and individual arrangements ,for events such as weddings which are all day and go on into the evening, are available.
Please contact the Centres Manager to discuss your requirements.
Typically for bookings that extend longer than 4 hours each subsequent hour is charged pro rata at the session rate
e.g Trinty main hall £82.20 Divide by 4 = 20.55 per additional hour

Equipment such as a flipchart, digital projector or White Board can be hired at a rate of £6 per item per day, please confirm your requirements at the time of booking.

The Kitchen is hired separately from the hall and is only available on a session rate.  This includes use of the cooker, utensils, dish washer, cutlery and crockery.
We do not charge hirers for using the serving hatch and counter as a convenient point to serve refreshments or pre-prepared / catered food.
Use of this is by arrangement and should not be assumed as it cannot be permitted when the kitchen is in use as a separate hire.
Evening Bookings: Out of respect for our neighbours bookings are generally expected to be finished by 22:30. 
If your booking is likely to finish later, please apply to the Trinity Church Leadership Team in writing at least one month before the planned event or party.
