NOA News & Events
Rise in hire rates
just like many other businesses we are also being severally impacted by rising inflation, increased cost of running business as well as soaring fuel and energy costs. As of September all of our hire rates will be going up by 10% (rounding down to the nearest £0.50).
We have held off raising prices for as long as possible including over the pandemic and the recovery period after to help all of our regular bookers restart and rebuild. However we have reached a point where our outgoings are continuing to rise and, with no more areas to cut back we finally have to raise our prices to continue operating.
For clarity here are the new per hour rates for Single/Regular bookings at NOA.
Main Hall £22/£19.50
Annexe £18.50/£16.50
Lecture room £11/£10
Library £11/£10
Meeting Room £8/£7
Pavilion £18.50/£16.50
