SCHOOLS THAT HIRE OUT AT THE WEEKEND?

Does anyone know of any schools that hire out their sports hall and sports facilities at the weekend? I'm looking for a venue for a sporting event on the 25th June or 2 July and can't find any schools that are willing to hire out their premises?

I think you will come up against issues over public liability and access(ie pay for a caretaker to be on site), unless you are using personel employed by the school. Perhaps try private schools ?

I hire out school facilities at the weekend but it is expensive around £150-£180 for half a day and £300-£350 for a full day.

We hire the schools every single week so are keyholders, the cost to get the caretaker out on a Saturday would be very prohibitive to most. I also have full public liability insurance.

You will probably find that the school schools do hire out already have regular bookings (dance classes and sports coaching etc). Your best bet would be to try and find a large secondary school who already hire out part of their school (so already have the caretaking in place) that of course only works if yoiu want a different part of the school.

Happy to pay that for the right venue, can you give me an idea of who is hiring out?

Thank you
