The Hopbine Sculpture Our Name In the history of our Hall it has always been known as Bosbury Parish Hall although it is independent of Bosbury Parish Church and to many local people it is known as Bosbury Village Hall. We have improved the hall over the last few years and some members of the Committee feel that the name does not match with what we offer. It has been suggested that “The Hopbine Hall, Bosbury” ties in with our feature sculpture and reflects one of the main farming activities in our area. Please feel free to use this name on invitations if you wish. Licence The Hall is available for hire from 8am to 11.30pm each day including weekends and, with the approval of the Fire Safety Authority, is licensed for up to 200 people to attend an event. Our premises licence allows for live and recorded music and dancing with an extension to 1am the next morning and for the sale of alcohol for consumption on the premises. Local Advice Our Management Committee members are available to help with advice on using the Hall. Their details are given on the Notice Board in the Foyer and they all live in Bosbury. In the first instance our Booking Secretary will be able to answer most queries and can arrange a visit to show you around the Hall. You are also welcome to email the Hall Secretary (see Contacts on ‘About Us’ page) on more general topics. Timing When you are planning the length of time you will be at the Hall, do allow for the time it takes to set up beforehand and to clear away at the end. As part of our hiring conditions, we do ask that you clear up and remove all waste paper and kitchen waste and leave the building clean and tidy. This does take a some time and may involve coming in the following morning after an evening event. Catering Our modern well-equipped kitchen is fitted out with commercial catering equipment including an electric oven which can hold four catering trays, a four-ring electric hob, extractor fan, dishwasher, hot cupboard, refrigerator, 25-litre water boiler, stainless steel working surfaces and a shuttered serving hatch opening through to the Main Hall.
It is straightforward for you to arrange your own food and drink and use all the kitchen facilities. In addition
we have 120 sets of crockery and cutlery as well as tea cups, saucers and spoons for use at the Hall and
available for outside hire at a modest charge. Here is a PDF document showing our
Terms of Hire.
Glasses are usually available from the the supermarket or wine merchant that supplies your drinks. For larger events
we have contacts with a number of local caterers including:
Vine House Catering, New Street, Ledbury.
Seating Suggestions To give you an idea of the size of event we can accommodate, here are some possible table layouts. The first uses our own tables, the second will require hiring in round tables and the third needs 11 extra tables hired in to supplement the ones we can provide. We have used Hampton Hire Ltd in Hereford for table hire.
