Booking Enquiries

The bookings Secretary may be contacted by e-mail sent to shiphamhall.bookings@gmail.com or using our dedicated telephone number 01173 182 357

To make a Booking enquiry we provide two methods to assist in preparing the information that you will need during your chat with the bookings clerk.

 A Microsoft Word Bookings Enquiry Form which can be completed electronically on your computer ready to return to the bookings clerk by e-mail.

 A PDF Bookings Enquiry Form which can be printed and completed by hand to return by post to the bookings clerk or scanned to return by e-mail.

The form can also be sent as an enquiry.

After booking we will need a completed and signed copy of the form as part of the Hire contract.

The Hire Contract

All hire contracts are between the Hall Trust (charity no.270556) and the Hirer, who is either the organisation or person named as responsible on the enquiry form and on any booking confirmation.


No hire can be treated as finally confirmed until the Hirer has completed and signed an enquiry form and sent it for approval of the bookings clerk.


All hires are subject to payment of any deposit requested on booking.


Payment may be made by direct bank transfer provided you include at the start of the reference section each invoice or booking reference number that is being paid.
Our bank account statements will tell us who the payment is from.
