All bookings are managed by our administrator Helen Berry, who will be pleased to answer any questions about your booking on 07570 097332 or via our contact page. Helen can also arrange an appointment for you to view the OBS before Booking.
Hiring is generally by the hour, but times can be by agreement. Hire time must include for hirers’ set up time and tidy up time. We appreciate the room being left in as good (or better!) state than you found it.
How to make a booking
- See if the date and time you wish to book are available. You may do this by checking our calendar. Although the calendar is kept up to date as far as possible, it may be worth discussing with Helen Berry to see if there is any flexibility between already reserved sessions.
- Please read our Terms and Conditions before proceeding further.
- Download and complete a booking form (Word or PDF).
- Send booking form(s) to our administrator via our contact page.
- Wait to hear back from our administrator who will confirm if the booking is acceptable.
- You will then need to pay your deposit. This is a refundable deposit of £100 that covers a single hire, or an unlimited series of bookings made at the same time.
Additional notes
Your booking is not confirmed until the administrator has confirmed a reservation and a deposit has been paid.
Exceptionally, booking requests may be sent by post to:
- Old Bluecoat School, Chapel Street, Thatcham, RG18 4QN
Do not post cash or cheques.
Please note, we prefer payments and refunds to be by Bank Transfer. We cannot accept Credit or Debit Cards.
