Check availability and send the request

Select Check Availability. Resolve any clashes, check the details, then save the request. The acknowledgement confirms receipt, not the booking.

The first two images show Hallmaster's public controls. The remaining screen guides use the same field names without customer information. Hallmaster may arrange them slightly differently when its service is updated.

AFTER YOU SEND IT

MBC reviews the request and confirms it in writing

Your date is not booked simply because Hallmaster has received the request. The Church Office will review the details, agree the fee and any deposit or conditions, and confirm the booking in writing.

Need help before you book? Tell the church office your preferred dates, number of people, activity, room layout, access needs, equipment and any kitchen use.

ROOM BOOKINGS AND AVAILABILITY

View existing room bookings without signing in. Choose a date and select a room, such as Back Hall (Upstairs), to see what is on. Opening Hallmaster in its own page works best on a phone.

Some entries are labelled Private Booking. If you need help identifying a class, contact the church office.
