If you will be selling and supplying alcohol at your event, you will require a licence to do so. Arrangements can be made to use the hall’s alcohol licence or you can apply to the local authority for a Temporary Event Notice (TEN) that will last for 7 days. A licence will not be required for alcohol being given away providing there is no charge / donation. If alcohol is included as part of a ticket or entrance fee then a licence will be required.
The communal kitchen has serving hatches to both halls, or the small hall is perfect for setting out food and drink for your guests. The hall has two portable bars that hirers are welcome to use.
Alternatively, you may wish to hire the services of a company or public house to attend your event to provide bar facilities. This will not usually require use of the hall’s alcohol licence as they are likely to have their own licence for such events.
This page will be updated with details of companies that have previously been hired for events at Benenden Village Hall or may be able to assist if you are planning an event.
If you are a local company or public house that provides mobile or outside bars, please contact the hall manager regarding your details being added to this page.
