Booking Deposit
Refundable Security Deposit
A refundable security deposit of £100 is required for all bookings involving parties, celebrations, or other one-off events.
The purpose of this deposit is to cover any additional costs incurred if the hall is not left in the same clean and tidy condition in which it was hired, or if any damage, breakages, or loss of equipment occur during your hire.
At the end of your booking, please ensure that:
-
The hall, kitchen, and toilets are left clean and tidy.
-
All rubbish is removed or disposed of as instructed.
-
Tables and chairs are returned to their original positions.
-
Any spillages are cleaned up.
-
Floors are swept and/or vacuumed.
-
All lights, heating, and appliances are switched off where applicable.
-
Curtains and blinds are left open
-
The premises are securely locked when you leave.
Following your hire, the hall will be inspected, if it is found to be clean, tidy, and free from damage or missing items, your full security deposit will be refunded within seven days of your event.
If additional cleaning is required or if damage, breakages, or missing items are identified, the Palairet Hall Committee reserves the right to retain all or part of the deposit to cover the reasonable costs incurred. If these costs exceed the value of the deposit, the hirer may be liable for the additional amount.
