Toad Hall at Charlton Down Village Hall

Booked time must include sufficient time to set up and clear away after the booking. Toad Hall has a small kitchenette with kettles and crockery that enables hirers of Toad Hall to prepare light refreshments within the room itself. No charge is made for the kitchen when used for preparing teas & coffees. The £10 charge is levied when heavy use, such as using the oven is required. Clients can book the use of the kitchen for the preparation of light refreshments. This use does not constitute “Exclusive” use of the kitchen, except where the wedding package is being taken, as we only have one kitchen and other clients may wish to use it as well. If the hirer intends to make a charge for alcoholic beverages, the hirer may be covered by the Hall’s own license at a cost of £20. - Deposits: For large events including parties, a £150 damage deposit may be applied. The deposit will be returned to the client once the premises have been inspected post-hire. This includes checking the hired rooms have been left clean and tidy and all rubbish has been removed. - Discounts: Residents of Charlton Down, Charminster and Forston booking for a Private Function (except weddings and wedding receptions) may attract a 40% discount on their room hire charges. Not for Profit events that benefit the community of Charlton Down, Charminster and Forston and that are run as “not for profit” by volunteers will receive a discount of 33% and will be covered by our Public Liability Insurance. - Prices for audiovisual equipment and lighting: Small 2,200 lumens projector for Toad Hall.
