Bringing Holyport Together
The village hall is owned by the village and run by the HCT on a non-profit-making basis for the benefit of the local community.
The hall has two spaces for hire to residents (at a preferential rate), non-residents, and local businesses and organisations, and is an ideal venue for parties, meetings, events and more. The bookings page also allows booking of the outdoor tennis/pickleball courts and the Scout Hut.
The hall is set in its own grounds with a large car park, playing field, tennis/pickleball court, children’s playground with accessible equipment for children of all abilities, and multi-use games area.
The 2025/6 season of Holyport Cinema Club has now finished. The silver screen will be back up and running on Friday 11 September.

Our main hall is 35’ x 50’ (1066cm x 1524cm) with a sprung floor.
The Hall can accommodate 150 people in total and 140 for table seated events.
There are 28 of the larger folding tables 183x69cm and 10 smaller square tables.
A few tables are in the Hall and the remainder in the Chair Store accessed through the double doors to the left of the stage.
Please fold tables away after use and return to their trolleys.
There are 100 comfortable stacking chairs and 38 folding chairs.
A few chairs are in the Hall and the remainder in the Chair Store accessed through the double doors to the left of the stage.
Please ensure all chairs are tidied away after use, respecting the instructions on the number of chairs per dolly.
The bar has a small fridge, water boiler and sink.
Please ensure you empty the fridge and switch off the water boiler if used.
The kitchen has a full-height fridge, microwave and electric range cooker with four hobs, grill and oven. There is also a kettle and two sinks.
Please ensure you empty the fridge and switch off any equipment used.
There are a few pans and some basic cutlery in the kitchen but we advise you to bring anything required for your event as we do not include cooking or serving equipment in the booking.
No, the cupboards are allocated to regular groups that hire the Hall so are not accessible to casual users. Please do not try to open these or remove any contents.
No, but there is a pulley on the side of the curtains so do not pull across manually.
The control panel is in a cupboard near the double doors at the entrance to the Hall. There are full Instructions in the cupboard. Please follow the sequence for switching the lights on and off and do not use any of the controls that are taped off.
Please note that one of the sockets near the stage light controls is allocated to the village defibrillator which is outside the Hall. Please ensure this is not switched off.
Please ensure everything is switched off at and returned to the starting position before you leave.
The controls for the sound system are at the back of the stage and allow Bluetooth connection from your own devices. The system is sound limited and will cut out if the volume is too high. If this happens, you should reduce the volume and reset – any damage caused by resetting and constantly overriding the sound limiter will be withheld from your deposit.
You can also plug in your own speakers or equipment to the socket at the front of the stage which is also connected to the sound limiter.
The Hall sound system has a volume limiter to ensure that we are not disturbing any neighbours. Please respect this and also ensure that windows are kept closed after 10pm and that you leave the premises quietly at night.
Yes, but it is at your own risk so you should ensure you have appropriate insurance.
A bouncy castle can be plugged into normal sockets but you must not unplug the defibrillator to do this!
You will need to check if the hall is available and, if so, you should book the Hall and pay the hire fee for the time it will take you to set up
Licensed catering vans are acceptable in the car park but not on the Green. If you need to use the outside socket then it has to be switched on from inside (switch in men’s toilet). Please ensure this is switched off at the end of the hire period.
Yes, no problem, but no cooking or BBQs are allowed on the Green.
There are two commercial wheelie bins outside at the back of the Hall which are accessible from the Bar area. They are marked for recyclable and general waste.
Hirers are allowed to dispose of 3 black bin bags – please ensure any additional rubbish is taken home with you.
Yes, there are accessible toilets in the foyer of the Hall.
Yes, there is a cloakroom with a baby-changing mat in the foyer.
There is a red “kill switch” by the front door. Please pull this to switch the lights on when arriving and remember to push this to switch everything off when leaving.
Yes, this can be found on a hook by the bar. Please remember to close and lock all windows before leaving.
The heating is kept on at a constant temperature. Given the size of the room it takes a number of hours for any changes to take effect and we would ask hirers not to tamper with the thermostats as it is unlikely that this will have any effect during your booking.
If the heating is not on, please notify the Bookings Clerk.
