Please note the start of your booking is the start time of your entry into the room(s) not the start time of your publicised event. The end of your booking is the time you leave the room(s) not the end of your publicised event.
After contacting us, download our booking form (link below) and return by post. All bookings are only confirmed when we receive a completed form. We will then invoice you. Payment is required prior to the start of your booking.
By signing the application form, we assume that you have read and agreed to our Conditions of hire and Health & Safety Guidelines.
It is in the nature of our Quaker community in Brighton that we do not seek to make profit from the letting out of our rooms and facilities. However we do need to earn a sufficient amount to be able to operate and carefully maintain the two hundred year old Grade II star listed building. For this reason we hope that our rates are fair and competitive.
Below we have set out room rates, refreshment charges and equipment available.
