Isabella Community Centre Terms & Conditions of Venue Hire

As required by law, the building is a NO SMOKING building and we ask all hirers or patrons to adhere to this rule. Failure to do so could result in your group/activity being cancelled by the Management Committee.

If you are hiring a room for a children's party or similar and you wish to use an inflatable structure such as a bouncy castle, the only room that can accommodate such use is the Main Sports Hall. You must ensure that the hire company has its own insurance in case of accidents and that the inflatable structure meets our height limitations. You must also ensure that adequate child supervision is provided.

If you wish to hire our facilities on a weekend, a minimum of two weeks’ notice is required.
The Centre is not available for any room hire, including children’s parties, on Bank Holiday weekends or at any time over the two week Christmas period. 

Hire is by the hour. A member of staff will be onsite 30 minutes prior to the booked party time to allow access for setting up and 30 minutes after the booked time to allow families and entertainers to dismantle equipment/clean up party waste. Longer set up and clean up times must be considered and paid for within the booking fee.

All party bookings MUST be paid for in full two weeks before the event. If payment has not been made the booking will be automatically cancelled. Payment for all other uses is by prior arrangement.

The HIRER will be liable for any and all damage to the Centre's property or infrastructure caused by the HIRER's negligence.

The HIRER must ensure that the room is in a clean and tidy state at the end of the hire period. The Centre will provide access to housekeeping material and arrange for the disposal of any rubbish.
