Parking We rent out parking spaces to local office workers and local residents, who find parking in nearby streets difficult to find. The car park is therefore busy all the time, including evenings and weekends. Hall users can only assume there will be 4-5 available car parking places for their use. They need to manage their guests parking to ensure they do NOT block in our paying parkers. There is pay parking in South Street, it is quiet at the weekend particularly beyond Sidmouth Street.
The hall is on one level throughout. We have not as yet been able to make access wheelchair friendly, the doors of the late 1880s building are narrow, there are ramps to ease access.
There is no audio visual equipment. Unfortunately we do not at the moment have a light projector for use, so please bring your own. The acoustics in the hall are good, most speakers can be heard clearly without microphones. There is a large blank wall to project onto. There is a flip chart and whiteboard in the area where the tables and chairs are kept. There is a hot water boiler constantly working so its easy to make Tea & Coffee. There are a large number of mugs in one of the cupboards, if they are used please wash and dry them and return to the cupboard.
