Terms & Conditions of Hire

a. I am responsible for returning the area we have used to a clean and tidy condition afterwards, for supervision and security of the premises, protection of the fabric and contents from damage and the behaviour of all persons using the premises. If this is not done to the satisfaction of the St Laurence’s PCC or if there are any breakages, then I undertake to pay £25 plus the full costs of cleaning and/or restitution.

anything that may endanger the premises, their users or any relevant insurance policies.

Fire Authority, Police Authority Environmental Health, Social Services or otherwise.

h. I confirm that all appropriate risk assessments for any activities to be undertaken (indoors or outdoors) will be completed and submitted to the church prior to the commencement of my booking.

i. I confirm that I am responsible for the orderly and safe admission and departure of persons from the Church, and the safe evacuation of the Church in case of emergency. I will read the Fire Safety Policy in this pack, including evacuation procedures.

l. No goods may be left in the premises nor any posters on church noticeboards.

m. My booking is only confirmed when the St Laurence’s PCC receives and banks the deposit.
The deposit is not refundable; if the St Laurence’s PCC cancels the event, the fee is refunded in full. The St Laurence’s PCC reserves the right to cancel the booking if the room is needed for church purposes. In these circumstances, the maximum practicable notice shall be given and the St Laurence’s PCC will seek to find alternative accommodation for your booking if at all possible.

n. If I am given a key, I understand that this is to be used only for the event(s) specified in the bookings form and at no other time. If I need to access the church outside of the events specified on the bookings form, I will request access via email. I undertake under no circumstances to give it to a third party or to have a copy made, and to return it at the end of the hire. If I
do not return it, then the Church may have to have new locks fitted and I agree to cover the cost of this with an additional £50 fee for the inconvenience caused.

o. I indemnify the St Laurence’s PCC in respect of the cost of repair of any damage done to any part of the premises, including the curtilage thereof or the contents of the building during or as a result of a booking and in respect of any liability to third parties or otherwise arising out of the use of the premises pursuant to the hiring.

q. By my signature below, I confirm that I am over 18 and have accepted all the conditions set out above on behalf of my organisation. I also understand that there are no daytime parking facilities available at the church. There are a number of car parks within a short distance of the church.

r. I recognise that in signing this form I am responsible for communicating to my group the details of the fire evacuation policy should this need to be implemented.
If I do wish to use the premises for a different use to that agreed on this form, I realise that this needs to be a new booking.
I can confirm that my booking includes setting up/clearing up time and not just the running time for my event.
