A free printable hall hire form summarising one booking — hirer and contact, dates and times, rooms, charge and deposit, keys issued and signatures.
One page. Choose your paper size — both versions are laid out identically, so neither one gets shrunk to fit.
Print it and write on it
Fill it in type and save
The fillable versions have real form fields — open them in any PDF reader, type into them and save. Printing help.
Leave the doorway with both sides agreeing on the times, the rooms and who locks up. It is the booking nobody wrote down that goes wrong.
Church halls, village halls, scout huts, community centres and any group that lets its building out to other people.
One page, top to bottom:
Printed under the title: One booking on one page: who has hired the hall, when, for what, what they were given and what both sides signed.
Attach your own conditions. This is a summary of a booking, not a set of terms. Your own conditions of hire, charges and insurance position are yours to write — attach them to this sheet.
Write-on lines: Hirer name · Organisation · Booking reference · Telephone · Email · Address
Table, 3 rows: Date · Rooms or spaces · Access from · Until · Purpose of hire · People expected · Confirmed
Write-on lines: Hire charge · Deposit taken · Paid on · Balance due · Keys / code issued
Signature strip: Hirer's signature · For the hall · Date
No. It is a summary of what was agreed and what was handed over. Your own conditions of hire are the terms, and they belong with this sheet and are given to the hirer — what they need to say depends on the rules where you are.
Because what cover a hirer needs, and whether yours extends to them, differs by country and by policy. The sheet has a line to record that the question was discussed, and leaves the answer to you and your insurer.

Answer a family's question from a page rather than from memory, and keep the condition of each memorial written down between inspections.
Keep every booking for a shared space in one visible place, which is the only reliable cure for double bookings.
Turn the first and last twenty minutes of the day into two short lists that get initialled, instead of a routine somebody remembers most of the time.
The same subject, with a version you can fill in on screen.
Every hire in the period, with the hirer and what the hall was used for.
Every sheet, binder, game and puzzle on Upkeep Papers is free to download, with no email and no account. Making them is not free: each one takes days of research, design and checking, and the site costs money to run. If something here saved you time, you can buy us a coffee. It is entirely optional: nothing is locked, and nothing changes if you don’t.
Opens PayPal in a new tab. Any amount, and nothing changes if you would rather not.
