Commercial hirers £240 per day (minimum hire 24 hours)

You must inform the booking secretary if you propose having a bouncy castle as part of your hire. If you are having a bouncy castle we require hirers to have appropriate insurance cover for this activity. If you cannot show written evidence of insurance cover, you must pay a £10 premium to the Barn hire charge to cover insurance cover under the Barn’s insurance policy.

* The hirer's personal residence defines the rate used. Residents are defined as residents of Mells and Vobster villages and other local villages without their own village hall, specifically, Whatley and Chantry.

Terms of Hire

All bookings are subject to the Terms and Conditions. Please read these carefully as the Barn may not be suitable for every event – this is particularly true for live music events where the sound limiters, fitted under government legislation, are based on the ambient external noise levels which, in a quiet country village like Mells, are particularly low. The Barn Committee cannot be responsible for any loss incurred should these Terms and Conditions not be observed.

Regrettably no confetti at your celebration. We recognise that it looks pretty for you, but for the next group it looks like litter.

Availability

Due to local bye-laws the number of major events in the Barn is limited.  Clients must not assume, therefore, that the lack of bookings means that the day is available.
