Small Hall Hire, St Andrew's Church, Thornhill Square

We hired the small hall which was perfect. The space was warm and clean and the kitchen had everything we needed. Key pick up and drop off was very straightforward. Lovely space.

I was allowed to access the building the day before, in order to get ready. The heating had been turned on long before we arrived, so the building was warm. We had access to a full kitchen as well as the hall. A perfect venue!

Perfect room for our daughter's birthday. The staff were all so welcoming and helpful and the venue was clean and well stocked with amenities.

Rachel was easy to work with to get access to the building. When we got there to set up I locked the doors from the inside as we weren't expecting anyone to come until the party time. A woman who said she worked at the church came in and saw decorations on the wall I had just hung and opened the door they were hung under ripping them down. She proceeded through the door even after seeing it happen and didn't apologize or try to rehang them. I approached her she yelled at me for locking the door from the inside which was a fire exit because she couldn't get in and they had deliveries coming. She acted like I was a complete idiot. I have/would never speak to anyone like that. Where in the rental paperwork does it say not to lock the doors?? My child goes to school there and the teachers are meticulous about locking those doors, so why wouldn’t I? I thought I was locking the door for our own safety and because we had rented this hall (that I am suppose to care for) I was doing the right thing. If anyone from the hall had told me to expect someone with deliveries I would have not locked the door and gladly helped out. The woman was completely rude! I was so disappointed with the experience after that. It's stressful enough trying to get set up for a party in 30 minutes. Let alone to have someone rip down decorations and then to get yelled at.

This is hands down the loveliest venue for a kids party or other large event. People are so helpful. Tidying up afterwards was a breeze thanks to the Greta vacuum cleaners and brooms. We will book again!

Huge space and fantastic venue. The collection of keys was super easy and communication was excellent. The main hall was extremely large and sectioned off from the main church. Access to the kitchen and additional tables and chairs was a bonus. Detailed information provided was clear and allowed a stress free party.
