PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE A VOICEMAIL BUTSEND A TEXT WITH YOUR NAME AND EMAIL ADDRESS and include: which hall you want to hire, the type of function, number expected to attend, preferred date and start/finish time.
You will receive a reply text from us , usually within a day, and if the hall is available asking for your email address, so that the booking forms could be sent to you. The booking forms and connected documents are also available to you to download here (see below).
If the hall is available and you wish to make a provisional booking until you view the hall or discuss with others, please send a text message. Provisional bookings may be held for a few days but not for more than one week. You should not rely on a provisional booking as this can be lost to someone else who is ready to book. This will happen if you let days pass or do not respond to messages.
Viewing of halls is usually available between 11:30am and 12:00 midday on Sundays. Other times are difficult to arrange as the halls are in use on weekdays and evenings, and access might not always be possible when not in use or in-between lets.
CANCELLATIONS: If you cancel your booking within two weeks of the event your deposit will not be returned
The Halls are not available for non-Christian ceremonies. Also the Church does not allow any Halloween events or activities on the premises.
Details of how to proceed with the booking, making payments, receiving confirmation etc are given on the Booking Form.
Please note that our halls get fully booked well ahead of time and often we get 5+ enquiries a day. As this is managed by a volunteer church member not based in church, she (a) might not have the hall availability information to hand for replying promptly if you telephone, and (b) may also be otherwise engaged and not be able to answer phone calls. Please do not call on Sunday as all enquiries can only be dealt with Monday to Saturday.
You may also contact the Parish Secretary at the time and days noted above, and she will pass on the message. But this will be a slower process. The postal address is Hall Lettings, St Andrew's Church, 89 Malvern Avenue, Harrow, HA2 9ER
