About the hall

Run by the community, for the community

Fernside Hall has stood on Grove Road since 1962 and is managed by a volunteer committee of local residents. Hire fees go straight back into keeping the hall in good shape.

We host everything from birthday parties to the monthly market, and we would rather the hall was booked most weekends than sitting empty.

Hire fees

Charged by the hour with a discount for full-day bookings. A bond is required for evening functions and returned after a check the next day.

Main hall from $35 an hour

Community groups and non-profits get a reduced rate, ask when you enquire.
