FAQs:
Q – Are all the rooms and facilities on one level?
A – Yes
Q – Is there disabled parking and access to the hall by ramp?
A – Yes
Q – Is parking available?

Some on street parking is usually available. Parking in Pirrip Close (at the side of the hall) is discouraged as this restricts access to the houses behind the hall.

A – No. Use is restricted to Chalk Pre-School and Church events.
Q – Are bouncy castles allowed?
A – No.
