Hall Hire

Hiring the Hall at The Eddington

Our spacious light and welcoming space is available to hire both day and evening, 7 days a week. The hall is an adaptable space for meetings, talks, gatherings and sharing food.

Please note that the hall is not available 9am-3pm Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays when we run our Café and Larder.

All the money we earn from room hire directly supports the running of Waste into Wellbeing.

We especially welcome hirers who align with our objectives and values regarding sustainability, community cohesion and reducing climate change and food waste.

The hall can be hired without catering, or we can provide tea, coffee and cakes, or soup, making imaginative use of surplus food (please see prices below). We can also provide light meals depending on volunteer availability, please enquire for costs.
