4 Terms
The primary purpose of fire station meeting rooms aims to:
- provide a community space for individuals, community groups or local organisations
- encourage civic engagement
- promote lifelong learning.
Out of hours room hire can be arranged, although it will require a staff member on site, therefore an additional fee may apply.
In principle our rooms can be hired, however we do reserve the right to refuse the option should we feel there is impact to the reputation of the fire service.
