Rates.
Unlike many village halls and community centre's The Phoenix Centre does not receive any revenue funding Town, District or County Councils, we are fully independent and we have to run the Centre from our booking fees alone.
We are keen to support both new and existing community groups, we are happy to provide a home to groups serving the local community, rooms can be hired for parties and celebratory events and we also provide spaces for commercial organisations or training providers. We are happy to offer one off hires or enter into long term agreements with groups, clubs or service providers. We are flexible with our fees and discounts can sometimes be negotiated.
We offer three distinct hire rates:
1/ Charity: This is our lowest rate, it applies to local clubs, societies and charities delivering services that benefit residents in the STARR (Sandwich Town Action & Rural Revival) area, this includes Sandwich and the Parishes of Ash, Eastry, Woodenesborough & Worth.
2/ Community. This rate applies to individuals and groups who wish to book parties, seminars, private or community celebrations, award events or wish to hire spaces for regular events that do not directly benefit the wider community such as rehearsal space. This rate applies only to those in the STARR (Sandwich Town Action & Rural Revival) area, this includes Sandwich and the Parishes of Ash, Eastry, Woodenesborough & Worth.
3/ Commercial and Other: This rate applies to all residents who live outside of the STARR area or to businesses or organisations who aim to run 'for profit' events, this excludes fund raising events.
