Centenary Hall

Background

The hall was named to mark the 100th anniversary of the founding of Burstow Parish Council when it was built in 1995 as a replacement for the old Jubilee Hall. It is a hub for many village activities and also contains the Parish Council office.

Scope

There are three different sized rooms available to accommodate a wide variety of functions, as depicted in the table below.

Assembly Hall

This is the largest room with a ceiling height of 5m. The hall currently has a polished maple-wood sprung floor. There are ample power points and a ventilation system.

There is hatch access to a large adjoining kitchen, fully equipped to heat and serve pre-prepared food. It has two ovens, a microwave and a refrigerator.

Outwood Room 1

The larger meeting room with a ceiling height of 2.4m and a hatch to a small kitchen.

 

Outwood Room 2

A small meeting room that also serves as the council meeting chamber, again with a ceiling height of 2.4m.
The Outwood rooms are divided by a set of movable panels.

The Centenary Hall is not licensed for the sale of alcohol. Hirers are responsible for arranging a license for functions that include a paid bar.
However, the Council does have an ‘on license’ for hirers to use, so alcohol can be served, but not charged for.
Hirers are also responsible for any First Aid provision.

Parking

There is a car park next to the Centenary Hall. However, please note that the car park is not for the sole use of Hall users and certain times of the day can be very busy, so you may not be guaranteed a space.

Booking arrangements & Hire costs

Room hire charges vary according to the day, evening or weekends and the exact rates can be obtained from the Parish Council office at the Centenary Hall.
