Walton village offers a lovely space and extremely competitive rates for regular hires.

Regular hirers may receive the following benefits:
– Reduced rates
– Easy access
– Priority booking (provided a list of dates is given at start of year)
– No cancellation fees (if 7 days’ notice is given)

In return, we expect regular hirers to contribute to the smooth running of the hall. As a regular hirer and ‘friend’ of the hall, you are expected to help by:
– Arriving in good time to ensure that the facilities have been left in a suitable condition for your class/event
– Letting us know when they haven’t – remembering that this facility is run by enthusiastic volunteers rather than a commercial organisation – and sorting any problems out
– Being prepared to tidy away items left out of place
– Making sure that the hall is left ready for the next hirer

All of these things help Walton Village Hall keep our costs down. The provision of this hall is only possible due to the commitment of individuals who give freely of their time, skills, knowledge and experience.

If you would like to join our list of regular hirers, use the contact form and we will get back to you at our earliest convenience.

Walton Village Hall is ideally set up as a perfect venue for Wedding Parties and celebrating memorable family events.  The hall grounds are adjacent to a lovely playground with sufficient space for a large marquee or tent.  The hall has external power and has been the venue for a number of large successful outside activities.

We are able to offer the exclusive hire of the hall and adjoining land for wedding type celebrations.  If you are interested in this option, then we have a bespoke hire package that covers weekends and multiple day hires.

For further details – visit the Weddings page or contact us directly via our contact form and one of our committee members will call you to discuss the options available.

There are 10 folding tables stored in the store room which is on the right as you head towards the kitchen.

The tables are rectangular, 6ft x 2ft 6’’ that seat 6 comfortably, 8 if you sit someone at each end. The maximum capacity of the hall is 60 seated or 100 standing.

Unfortunately we don’t have any smaller chairs or tables, but those we do have have been used for many children’s parties.

Bouncy castles can be used both inside and outside the hall. It’s the hirer’s responsibility that if used indoors, the size of the castle is appropriate for the size of the hall, which is 10.5m x 6m. It is the hirer’s responsibility to ensure the safety of users, and as stated in our terms and conditions you or the provider must arrange suitable insurance.
There is an option to have a larger bouncy castle in the adjacent playground, and external power is available. However, you would not have exclusive access to the playground unless previously agreed, and for which there would be an additional hire charge.

We have 5 modern, brand new toilets which are all unisex. They are self contained and have everything you need. 
One has full baby changing facilities and another one is a huge family / disabled toilet. 

We have full baby changing facilities including baby change mat and nappy bins – all in one of our modern new toilets. 

We kindly ask for all our hires take all  rubbish away as we have no capacity to deal with it on site. There is a local tip at Thorp Arch that could help for larger rubbish items.

Our hall is cleaned professionally on a regular basis and prior to the hire we always check that cleanliness is of a high standard. We would kindly ask that when hirers leave the hall that they leave it in the condition in which it was found.

The key is in a key safe next to the door. The code to the safe will be on your receipt document.
