The capacity of the large hall is 120 persons and that of the meeting room hall is 12. If the attendees at any function are seated at tables, that must be considered in terms of the capacity. These numbers may not be exceeded to comply with Fire Regulations.

The Horizon Centre will require a security/cleaning deposit to make a booking. This is required to be paid at the time of making a booking. Depending on the type of booking this may be waived at the discretion of the Centre manager. This deposit will be returned after the booking provided that no damage has occurred and the rooms are left clean and tidy.
There will be a member of staff to welcome you to the building at the start time of your booking. We do not issue keys to hirers.
Access to the building is at the start time of your booking. For example, if you require an hour to set up and the event starts at 2.00pm, you will need to book from 1.00pm, at the other end of the booking you must include ‘clearing up time’ within your booking.
At The Horizon Centre we need to be considerate of residents living close to the Centre, because of this, we ask all hirers to ensure that the volume of sound is kept to a reasonable level especially when music is played or a PA system is used. In the summer months having the windows or doors open should also be taken into consideration Therefore, we request that all music or PA use must finish by 11.15. The actual function needs to end by 11.30 and all clearing and cleaning needs to complete by 12 midnight when the Centre can be locked by the member of staff on duty. When attendees leave the Centre late at night is s requested that they respect our neighbours and keep noise levels to a minimum. If this is not done, then any future booking may be jeopardised.
The Horizon Centre has a kitchen complete with hot water urn, kettle, fridge, microwave and a cooker. However, the kitchen is not equipped to cook meals it should rather be used for hot drinks, and reheating food. There are mugs and spoons provided however tea, coffee, milk and sugar should be brought with you unless agreed with the Centre manager. There is a hatch into the main hall from the kitchen.
The Horizon Centre must be left in the same condition as you found with floors swept and all rubbish collected and bagged. Tables and chairs need to be stacked appropriately. If the room is left dirty, untidy or with rubbish left then part, or all of your security deposit, may be withheld. We can provide a cleaning service after your event, agreed with the Centre manager in advance, for an additional fee.
The Horizon Centre has a portable PA system with microphones with the ability to play music but not suitable for DJ use. This can be booked before the event. Please speak to us about this if it might be something you want to book.
