  • If you/anyone wish to sell alcohol or provide it in return for a donation or as part of a ticket price, you must submit a Temporary Event Notice (TEN) at least 10 working days before the event to Derbyshire Dales District Council and await approval. Details including the TEN application fee are provided on the the DDDC website http://www.derbyshiredales.gov.uk/services-business/licensing/alcohol-entertainment-a-late-night-refreshment/temporary-event-notice . The simple way to apply is online paying the fee with a credit/debit card. Tansley Village Hall's Premises Licence number, required in the TEN form, is DDPLN0011. Its address is Church Street, Tansley, Matlock, DE4 5FH. You must not state the end time for selling alcohol beyond 11:59 pm without written approval from Tansley Village Hall's Hiring Manager. A copy of the licence must be shown (e.g. sent by email) to the Hiring Manager before any alcohol is sold. The hirer also must print a copy of the first page (approval) and bring it to the event or have it available on an electronic device such as a mobile phone.

  • Setting-up is for putting out chairs, tables, decorations and food, say, but does not include preparing and/or cooking/heating food. If you wish to prepare and/or cook/heat food, please include this under the full hire rate. On the day of an event, setting-up time (up to one hour) will be charged at 50% of the room rate. Further setting-up time is charged at the full rate. To set up the previous day, e.g. for a wedding reception, the charge is at the full rate.

  • If you need part of an hour, please use a decimal fraction, e.g. 0.5 for 1/2 hour.

  • Clearing up time is free of charge. By agreement, for late night events such as parties, clearing up may be done the following morning.

  • There is a 10% discount for booking two or more consecutive days for a multi-day event (but not for the concession of setting-up the day before an event such as a wedding reception). The hire charge is payable on/before the event (or afterwards only by agreement) preferably by bank transfer (via BACS) but by agreement by cheque payable to Tansley Village Hall or in cash. You are welcome and/or may be asked to leave a hire deposit of say 10% of the hire charge at/soon after booking. By agreement with the Hiring Manager, business customers may be invoiced after the event for payment by bank transfer (via BACS). The invoice will be sent by email to the Hirer. Payment must be received within 14 days of the invoice being sent.

  • A damage deposit of £100 paid in advance by bank transfer (via BACS), separate from the hire charge, is required for private parties/receptions/events for adults when alcohol and/or food are being consumed or other situations that we determine. A £50 damage deposit is required for children's parties. The deposit is returned if no damage/excess cleaning arises. The deposit is returned by bank transfer (via BACS) to the Hirer's nominated bank account, details of which must be given to the hiring manager when requested on/before the day of hire.
