ROOM HIRE
A welcoming space for your group
MBC has flexible rooms for meetings, classes, community activities and events in Weston-super-Mare. View the live room diary to see existing bookings, or find a space for your own group.
The calendar opens in Hallmaster. No sign-in needed to view room bookings. To request a booking, follow the step-by-step guide.
BOOK THROUGH HALLMASTER
MBC's online room-booking systemFollow the booking request from start to finish
Hallmaster is MBC's room-booking system. These six illustrated steps show what to select and what information to have ready.
Select the room you need
The screenshot uses Other as an example. Open the menu and choose the appropriate room before checking the calendar.
Select the + on your first date
The month and dates shown are only an example. Choose the + on the first date you need, then sign in or create your account when prompted.
Create an account or sign in
New hirers enter their contact details and create a password. Returning hirers sign in with the same account so their requests stay together.
Add the booking details
Enter the activity, date, access and finish times, room, expected numbers and any layout, equipment, accessibility or kitchen requirements.
Add every repeating date
For a regular booking, use the recurring booking option, choose the pattern and check the full list. Remove holidays or any date you do not need.
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.
BOOKABLE SPACES

The calendar uses MBC's current Hallmaster room names. The office will confirm the best room, layout, equipment, access arrangements and current charge with you.
Back Halls
Separate downstairs and upstairs halls offer flexible space for classes, meetings and community activities.
Lounge
A smaller setting for meetings and group conversation. Ask the office about the layout and current accessibility arrangements.

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.
A request is not a confirmed booking. Hallmaster will ask you to register or sign in before submitting. MBC will review the request and confirm it separately.
The availability calendar and booking request are provided by Hallmaster. Information entered into the booking process is handled through Hallmaster and MBC's room-booking administration.
