On this page: Room Hire terms | Rates | Capacities
Room hire:
Use of tables and chairs is inclusive of room hire, numbers to be agreed at the time of booking . We aim to accommodate all layout requests. However, please note that there are maximum numbers for specific layouts (refer to room capacities below). Additional items such as crockery, AV equipment & flip charts are available for use in the building. Please request such items when making a booking, as availability cannot be guaranteed if not pre-booked. Stage extensions or reductions incur a £50 cost and 4 weeks notice is required; such requests will be accepted if they align with existing bookings.
A full risk assessment is required for all corporate hires (for templates: www.HSE.gov.uk)
If applicable a copy of public liability insurance must be provided to the Town Council prior the room hire. Please note: It is the room hirer’s responsibility to check if they need PLI/personal insurance & WTC recommends all hirers are covered.
An event form must be signed on the day of the event to confirm agreement with health and safety procedures.

Capacities:
The Town Hall building has a maximum capacity of 200 including staff and performers and therefore the following room limits are imposed:
- Main Hall – Standing or Theatre Style (standard stage 4m): 150. This figure represents a maximum 150 ticketed/invited attendees in the Main Hall. There is provision for an additional 30 people (performers, stewards & staff) to be present in the main hall during performances, on the expectation that these have received a safety briefing (by the hirer) & have full understanding of the fire evacuation procedure.
- Club Room – Standing: 40
- Club Room – Seated (Theatre Style) 30
- Ante Room – 15
Memorial Hall
- Main Hall – Standing 100
- Main Hall – Seated 50
All room limits in the Town Hall are dependent on the combined total which must not exceed 200, and are operated on a first come first serve basis.
*Any set up which differs from the above may affect capacities, please check before booking, to ensure your layout & number of attendees can be accommodated*
