Private Events

We do not provide catering, but we have a list of recommended local caterers. You may also bring in your own caterers, who may use our kitchenette; this is subject to our agreement in advance.

Please note your caterers must have relevant hygiene and insurance certification and be fully conversant with health and safety legislation.

Blackheath Halls can supply all your Champagne, wine, spirits, beer, soft drinks and water. A wine list is available on ourwebsite and tastings can be arranged with our Bar Manager, who will be happy to provide a bespoke quotation based on your requirements.

If there are specific brands that we do not normally stock which you are particularly keen to have available for your private function, please discuss these with our Bar Manager.

All drinks must be purchased through Blackheath Halls with the use of the bar area included in the hire subject to a minimum bar spend of £700 + VAT (£840); depending on space restrictions we may be able to provide an additional mobile bar within your function room.

Licensing hours:
Mon – Sat 11am-11pm; Sun 12pm-10.30pm

It is possible to apply for an extension to these hours on some Fridays and Saturdays, subject to confirmation by Blackheath Halls.

We can liaise with your florist and/or decorator to arrange access on the day, subject to availability. Please note that we do not allow confetti or helium balloons. We do not allow naked flames on the premises.

Chairs are included in the hire fee. We do not have large round tables: these must be hired in – either by Blackheath Halls (and the cost recharged), by yourselves or by your caterer. We do not supply table linen, glassware, crockery and cutlery.

Unless otherwise agreed, all deliveries must take place within the agreed hire period.

Unfortunately, Blackheath Halls has limited storage facilities available. We will do our very best to accommodate your requests but as an active performance and rehearsal venue we have to work around a busy programme of additional public events

There is a small space in front of the venue, which may be used for photographs. Photographs may be taken inside Blackheath Halls or on Blackheath Common itself.

All events need to be clear of the Halls by midnight; Blackheath Halls may apply for a late licence on the behalf of hirers but this is subject to approval. Hirers are kindly reminded that Blackheath Halls is situated in a residential area and to be considerate to our neighbours upon exiting the building.
