Fees for hiring are shown below.
The Bell Centre was home to the Youth Café, but due to staff being unavailable this facility closed in July 2003. Since then the Parish Council has been a partner, along with several other agencies including the YMCA, Chelmer Housing Partnership and the William Sutton Trust, in a project designed to establish a dedicated youth facility in the village. Until separate premises are available a youth group is again being run in the Bell Centre on a Tuesday evening. This caters for young people up to the age of 13.
The rates shown here are per hour, and there are minimum periods of hire - please ask for details.
