The hall does not have a PRS or PPL licence.
No licence is required for functions of a purely domestic or family nature, such as wedding receptions, christening parties or domestic birthday parties, when:
Attendance of guests is by personal invitation only (except for staff, performers, etc.)
The function is held in a privately-booked room, not at that time open to the general public
There is no form of charge made for admission
There is no financial gain to the function’s organiser or host (e.g. the person hiring the venue)
When needed, it is up to the hirer to ensure the appropriate licences are obtained.
Loud or amplified music after midnight is not permitted (condition of hire).
If you have a party not open to the public and make no charge for admission or drinks, no licence is required. The law of the land does apply and persons must be 18 years old or over to consume alcohol.
Any event other than a private party needs a Temporary Event Notice available from Cheshire East.
If you are organising an event that sells alcohol to the public, provides entertainment or refreshments past 11pm, you must obtain a temporary event notice from Cheshire East
If you are a non-commercial hirer, public liability insurance is extended to you by the hall insurance (subject to specific exclusions). Exclusions include activities that involve bouncy castles, martial arts, contact sports, weapons & fireworks.

Some people have used this Insurance in the past.
Inflatable hire companies have public liability insurance, but this covers them, not you.
Public liability insurance protects you against legal claims for accidental injury to attendees, and for damage to the venue.
Public liability insurance protects against accidental injury, not negligence.
The following are reasonable steps you can take to ensure safety and these will usually be required by your insurer.
