I want to hire a local hall for a booking

Deverell Hall is a large community hall with 2 distinct areas that can be hired. We generally hire what we term as the MAIN HALL which is basically the ground floor area of the hall. This includes a smaller back room, the use of the kitchen and access to disabled, ladies and gents toilets. And we have an UPSTAIRS CONFERENCE ROOM available for smaller gatherings, such as a book club, local meeting or discussion group.

The Main Hall

Main Hall of Deverell Community Hall in PurbrookThe MAIN HALL is 9.5 metres wide and 16.5 metres to the front of the stage. The Main Hall is usually used for parties, social gatherings, wedding receptions, or events that require the use of the larger hall. Overall, the entire hall is licensed to hold a maximum of 150 persons at any one time. The main hall itself is the oldest part of the building, with a high ceiling and lovely wooden floor. There is a stage which can be used for drama productions, speeches and such, but is not automatically included within your hire. To have access to the stage area you must request this first, and under no circumstances, must you allow any of your party access to the stage area without prior written consent.

A toilet is provided at the foot of the stairs, then this stairway leads to the UPSTAIRS CONFERENCE ROOM and there is a motorised stairlift for disabled access too. The stairs have been well designed for climbing and feature wide treads for safety.
