Ringshall Village Hall is licenced for the sale of alcohol and we have a well stocked bar.

We accept that hirers may wish to provide their own drinks for toasts and to welcome guests to their event however for other alcoholic drinks we would expect hirers to patronise our bar.  (income from the bar is a valuable contribution to our funds, which are needed to operate and maintain the village hall).

Any special requests regarding our policy should be discussed with us prior to the event.

We reserve the right to charge corkage should hirers or their guests abuse our policy.

Users of our hall should be aware that the only way to control the air conditioning is by means of the controllers situated near the doors.  Individual units must not be switched off.  This will cause an error condition and will prevent the system from operating.  Additionally an engineer's visit may be necessary to reset the system and for this an £85.00 call out fee will be charged to the hirer of the hall.
