Buildings, Bookings and Charges

The Parish Council has 3 halls in Woodhouse Eaves: the Parish Hall, the Annexe and the King George V Room. All are served by a public car park for around 35 vehicles - and street parking outside is also available. The location address is 50 Main Street, Woodhouse Eaves, Loughborough LE12 8RZ

The best halls for children's parties are the Annexe and the King George V Room - both have tables and chairs suitable for children.

All party bookings now carry a compulsory £50 deposit. This is returned as long as you leave the room in good shape. It takes up to a couple of weeks for the system to refund your account.

Lettings fees are reviewed annually (usually in November) and raised to the level of the Consumer Prices Index at that time - the changes are applied to new bookings from January.

There is a minimum booking time of 1.5 hours per booking. All bookings need to have a Risk Assessment in place at time of booking.

The buildings are adjacent to a children's play area, two tennis courts, a teenage games court, and a large playing field with cricket and football pitches. Local shops nearby include a pharmacy, newsagent, butcher and grocer.

Anyone wishing to sell alcohol at an event must complete a licence application to cover our premises. Two copies must be sent to the Borough Council and one copy to the Police [addresses are on the form below] and there is a small fee. Further details are on Charnwood BC's website at www.charnwoodbusiness.com/licensingact2003.htm
