FAQS

Are all areas of the Baromi Centre available to hire?

No. At this stage, hirers have access to the main hall, kitchen and toilets or the meeting room upon request. The storage rooms are not available for hire.

Do I require my own public liability to hire the Baromi Centre?

The Baromi Centre holds public liability to cover users of the building, however this insurance does not extend to user belongings. We recommend hirers hold their own insurance to cover loss or damage.
