The Main Hall

Licensed bar

The rear of the hall is leased to Tysoe Social Club and is accessed via their own entrance, with toilet facilities shared with the village hall. The Social Club is licensed as a member’s club and, with prior arrangement, can be opened up to users of the hall to support hirer events.

In addition the hall is licenced and, with the agreement of the Hall Committee, hirers may sell alchohol at events, subject to a number of conditions as detailed within the booking form and our Standard Conditions of Hire.

We have interconnecting doors between the hall and Social Club, which when opened create a large space, ideal for gatherings or events involving larger groups, such as wedding receptions, anniversaries and birthday parties.

In addition, the Village Hall is licensed for the provision of regulated entertainment and alcohol, subject to a number of conditions. 

Should you wish to sell alcohol at your event in the hall, please speak with the Bookings Secretary who can advise of the requirements related to clause 4.1 of our Hiring Agreement. Should you elect to apply for a Temporary Event Notice, please note the Bookings Secretary will need to have sight of any approved licence before allowing the sale of alcohol on the premises.
