Bromley Room Hire FAQs
When are the rooms available?
Rooms are typically available for hire within the same period as the opening hours for the associated Library. For instance, Chislehurst's room for hire may only be available from 09:30am-5:30pm on a Tuesday or Friday, but may be available until 7pm on Thursdays, where the branch closes late.
In some scenarios, you may be able to book rooms past the operating hours of the library itself. This can come at a premium, and is only available at certain Branches. Biggin Hill Library, for example, has a room for hire that is available until the attached Pool facility closes, which comes several hours after the closure of the library.
In all cases, please be aware that the closing time of the building is the time in which your event must be fully packed down, and your hired room vacated of all individuals and personal possessions.
A responsible member of staff will be present in the building at all times of hire.
