The bar

Hirers may either organise a bar for an event themselves, or the Centre can run the
bar for them. Under either circumstance the appropriate license must be arranged and the
usual bar protocols observed. For example, ensure customers are over 18 by asking for the
appropriate ID and keeping a register of any refusals. The event should be run with the
emphasis on the safety and wellbeing of customers, other members of staff/ event and local
residents.

Policy

It is the Centre’s policy for hirers to make sure the building is as clean and tidy as when they
arrive, also taking any rubbish and food waste away with them.

Any arrangements for equipment and tech should be done in advance with Centre
management. Hirers should allow plenty of time in their booking schedule for setting up and
cleaning of the Centre.
