Room Hire Fees

Abergavenny Community Centre is a multi-purpose venue that has different rooms available for hire & use.

To talk through your bespoke requirements for family gatherings you can contact Marion on Monday – Thursday by ringing 07751666481 between 9am-12 Midday, or, you better still please send an Email: aber.hub@gmail.com at any time. Before doing so, please have a clear idea of what you need from the venue, how many people are coming and what food you’re providing and how as it is not possible to provide firm rates until you know what you need from the venue.

There are lots of options and each space is suitable for a range of uses including events, workshops, meetings, training, conferences, gatherings, family gatherings, well-being activities, music, art and crafts, clubs and home-working.

The charge made will vary according to different factors, for example, is the session being run for profit or is it a good cause; will it be frequent, occasional or once only; how many people will attend; if we store things for you; and, if we work in partnership together.

If yours is a ‘one-off’ activity eg. a team meeting or training funded by the private or public sector or run for personal profit, here is a general guide to the hourly charges.

£12 – £22 per hour [3 x classrooms]

£18 – £28 per hour [Main hall]

£30 – £40 per hour – Main/Small hall combined. This fee assumes larger gatherings of 40-99 people. If you are serving food/ refreshments and/or require a cloakroom other charges may apply.

£12 – £35 per hour to hire the Community Kitchen (The kitchen is of a commercial standard and Hirers must have public liability insurance & food hygiene certificates in place to use it. A Kitchen induction will be carried out by the Supervisor.)

_{^{** We may request a deposit for some events and new activities **}}

Children’s Parties (Saturdays & Sundays only):

Typically £26 – £35 per hour. A three hour booking will include the set-up and leaving time. An extension can be negotiated.

Talk to us first because as each party is unique so will be your arrangement with the Centre which must also retreive benefits to underpin its charitable aims.

We allow bouncy castles but there are some width and height restrictions. Many bouncy castle providers are familiar with the centre.

WASTE TRANSFER FEE : £20 We ask all our customers to follow some simple steps to avoid creating uneccesary waste and we ask people to follow local practice on recycling. Arrangements must be made in advance when you secure your booking. *There will be no charge when you take everything off-site for recycling/disposal at your home and convenience.

If you are hiring the space then we are pleased to provide cups/glasses upon request. A reasonable charge is made when hiring tableware. All items must be rinsed and placed in the dishwasher to keep standards high.

The Welcome Room contains a ‘kitchenette’ that’s available for small private gatherings. £12 – £20 per hour depending on use and tableware required.

Functions/performances: Your event will be categorised as either small, medium or large. If you are offering refreshments there will be an upfront charge for use of the Kitchenette then, typically, £1.30 – £2.50 per person – according to use of tableware and *dishwasher usage.

*All cutlery/crockery items are washed mechanically to maintain high standards*
