The main
facility in Dent to hire for meetings, social events, fund
raising, sales etc., is the suite of four rooms known as the
Memorial Hall, dedicated to the Dent soldiers, who gave their
lives in the two great conflicts of the twentieth century.
The main hall also provides the primary school assembly hall,
so is only available for hire out of school hours. It can
accommodate up to 200 people seated for a stage performance or
110 for an event where tables are set out.
The smaller meeting room, the Sedgwick Room, named after Adam
Sedgwick, a native of the village and pioneering geologist,
accommodates up to 30 and is used for coffee mornings, small
lecture groups, committees etc.. It can be hired at any time.
Concertina doors between the hall and Sedgwick Room allow the
versatile double function of stage and auditorium with
audience or dancers in the main hall.
A new annex to the Sedgwick Room, the Haygarth Room, named in
memory of Hazel Haygarth, Dent resident and worker on behalf
of the village for many years, is mostly used by the nursery
group for pre-school education. It can be hired during school
holidays, and exceptionally in term time by arrangement.
These three facilities have a common kitchen for catering.
There is a good supply of tables and chairs, and crockery in
the kitchen. There is a disabled toilet.
Any of these facilities can be booked for use by residents or
non-residents, at the following hourly rates:
Main Hall
£4
Sedgwick Room £2.50
Haygarth Room £2.50
Kitchen £2.00
If the Sedwick and Hargarth Rooms are hired together the
charge for both is £4.00.
A supplementary charge of £15 is levied when a hirer
operates a bar. |
The hirer is
responsible for obtaining the appropriate licence for
alcoholic sales at any event.
The charges for any of the rooms includes supply of light and
heat and the use of a p.a. system if required.
The venue is in the middle of the village immediately opposite
the public car park.
Enquiries about booking should be made to the booking clerk,
who can also supply a copy of the standard terms of hire upon
request.

All Facilities can be hired from 8am to 1am. Those responsible
for a letting with a late finish, are asked to remember, with
being so central the hall is surrounded with residences, where
people will be sleeping, and to disperse reasonably quietly.
There are plans to make additions to the complex to improve
storage, toilets and kitchen.
The community is keen to encourage as much use of the Memorial
Hall as possible and enquiries about hiring will be welcome.
