Booking Fees and Payment

The cost of hiring the Reading Room is currently:

  • £8 per hour for residents
  • £10 an hour for non residents

The booking fee includes the cost of heating and the use of the kitchen for preparing hot and cold drinks only.

If you are using the kitchen for preparing and serving hot or cold food (for example, involving the use of cookers, hob or large amounts of hot water), the cost of hiring is:

  • £10 per hour for residents
  • £12 per hour for non-residents

Where possible, we allow each booking 5 minutes each side of the hire period to allow for basic set up and departure. If you require more time for these activities then you must include it in your hiring period.
